Abstract

A semiconductor static random access memory cell is implemented by four field effect transistors formed on a silicon layer over a buried silicon oxide layer and two resistors formed in an inter-level insulating structure; additional capacitors are formed under the buried silicon oxide layer, and are respectively connected to the gate electrodes of the field effect transistors serving as driving transistors of the memory cell so as to enhance the stability of the memory cell without increase the transistor size.
