Abstract

An SRAM is formed having the six transistor cell. The pull down transistors are formed so that no arsenic is implanted into the drains of the pull down transistors so that the drains of the pull down transistors are doped only by phosphorus implantation. The sources of the pull down transistors are doped with an LDD configuration of phosphorus ions and then a further implantation of arsenic ions is performed. This can conveniently be accomplished by providing an opening in the mask used to implant impurities into the source/drain regions of the ESD protection circuit.
