Abstract:
An SRAM cell structure comprising:an elongated first voltage bus comprising a material of a first conductivity type, the first voltage bus including a first terminal region of material of a second conductivity type such that a first tunnel diode is formed; an elongated second voltage bus comprising a material of the second conductivity type, the second voltage bus including a second terminal region of material of the first conductivity type such that a second tunnel diode is formed; an elongated device land between the first and second elongated voltage buses; the device land having a first transistor formed thereon, the first transistor having a gate, a source and a drain; and a first conductor configured to form an electrical connection between the source of the first transistor, the first terminal region of the first tunnel diode and the second terminal region of the second tunnel diode.
