Abstract

A vertically integrated DRAM cell having a storage time of at least 4.5 hours at room temperature, formed from a wide-bandgap semiconductor such as GaAs or AlGaAs, in which an n-p-n bipolar access transistor is merged with a p-n-p storage capacitor, with the middle p-n layers being common to both. Similarly, a p-n-p transistor can be merged with an n-p-n storage capacitor.
