ABSTRACT:
An SRAM semiconductor device is disclosed in which an access transistor is an nMOS TFT to thereby reduce cell size and to improve low Vcc characteristics. The semiconductor device comprises a gate electrode of a drive transistor formed on the semiconductor substrate, with a first gate insulating film therebetween. A first impurity region is formed on the substrate on opposite sides of the gate electrode of the drive transistor. An insulating film is formed on the entire surface of the substrate and has a contact hole exposing part of the gate electrode of the drive transistor. A semiconductor layer is formed on the insulating film in connection with the gate electrode of the drive transistor through the contact hole; a second gate insulating film is formed on the semiconductor layer; and a gate electrode of an access transistor is formed on the second gate insulating film. Further, a second impurity region is formed in the semiconductor layer on opposite sides of the access transistor gate electrode.
