Abstract

A CMOS image sensor integrated with 1T-SRAM is provided on a substrate having a pixel array part, a logic circuit part, and a memory part by adding only one photoresist process. There are a plurality of CMOS image sensor devices in the pixel array part, a logic circuit in the logic circuit part, and a plurality of 1T-SRAMs in the memory part, and each part is isolated by a plurality of STI regions. The 1T-SRAM includes a capacitor structure and a transistor. The capacitor structure includes a well region as a bottom capacitor plate, a capacitor dielectric layer, and a top capacitor plate formed on the substrate respectively. The transistor includes a gate dielectric layer, a gate, a drain, and a source continuous with and electrically connected to the well region.
