A new static memory cell based on reverse base current (RBC) effect of bipolar transistor

A novel SRAM (static random access memory) cell, which consists of a bipolar transistor and an MOS transistor, is proposed. The device, which is based on the reverse base current (RBC) effect, has been fabricated by conventional BiCMOS technology, using double poly-Si. A cell size of 8.58 mu m/sup 2/ has been realized in a 1.0- mu m ground rule. The results indicate that the RBC cell can be applied to very-high-density SRAMs, as large as 16 Mb or beyond.<<ETX>>
