Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a static random access memory cell comprising:providing a silicon substrate;defining first and second inverters on the substrate, the first and second inverters respectively including p-channel transistors including respective gates, defining first and second inverters comprising forming an active area common to the drains of the p-channel transistors by doping a contiguous region in the substrate extending from the drain of one p-channel transistor to the drain of the other p-channel transistor; anddefining an isolation gate relative to the common active area, between the drains of the p-channel transistors, by forming polysilicon on the common active area; andwherein contact can be made to the respective drains of the p-channel transistors with reduced need to accommodate pullback of the active area common to the drains of the p-channel transistors.
