Abstract

An SRAM semiconductor device having a parallel connection of two series circuits each having a driver transistor and a load connected in series, a wiring for connecting an interconnection point between the driver transistor and load of each of the two series circuits to a control terminal of the driver transistor of the other of the two series circuits, and a transfer transistor connected to each interconnection point, wherein the driver transistor and transfer transistor each are an insulating gate field effect transistor having a channel region formed on the surface of a semiconductor substrate at a predetermined area, source/drain regions on both sides of the channel region, and an insulated gate above the channel region, and the transfer transistor has a resistor region having an impurity concentration lower than the source/drain regions on both sides of the channel region of the driver transistor, the resistor region being contiguous to the channel region of the transfer transistor.
