Patent attributes
A semiconductor device including: a bulk semiconductor substrate; an access transistor; a thruster formed on the bulk semiconductor substrate connecting to the access transistor; an element separating region to separate the region for the access transistor and the region for the thruster from each other; and a wiring layer connecting one of the diffused layers of the access transistor and the cathode of the thruster together through a connecting hole, the impurity region at the anode side of the thruster being composed of a p-type impurity region, an n-type impurity region, p-type impurity region, and an n-type impurity region, which are formed sequentially in the depth wise direction, with the lowermost n-type impurity region receiving the same voltage as that applied to the anode at the time of data holding.
