Patent attributes
A Static Random Access Memory (SRAM) cell includes a first boundary and a second boundary opposite to, and parallel to, the first boundary, a first and a second pull-up transistor, a first and a second pull-down transistor forming cross-latched inverters with the first and the second pull-up transistors, and a first and a second pass-gate transistor. Each of the first and the second pull-up transistors, the first and the second pull-down transistors, and the first and the second pass-gate transistors includes a bottom plate as a first source/drain region, a channel over the bottom plate, and a top plate over the channel as a second source/drain region. The SRAM cell further includes a first, a second, a third, and a fourth active region, each extending from the first boundary to the second boundary.
