ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a RAM that includes a semiconductor substrate having P-type dopant impurity atoms and having a major surface. A plurality of spaced apart regions of N-type atoms lie within a predetermined area on the surface to define storage regions for the cells of the memory. An insulating layer of substantially uniform thickness with a conductive layer lying thereon completely covers the predetermined area except for a plurality of elongated openings which extend outward from each of the storage regions. A layer of P-type dopant atoms lie at substantially the same level as the storage regions throughout that portion of the substrate that is beneath the insulating layer. By this structure, the perimeter of a transfer gate that exhibits essentially no narrow channel width effect is defined from each storage region by the respective openings. Also, a capacitor for stabilizing the bias voltage of the substrate is formed by the combination of that portion of the insulating layer and conductive layer which lies between the storage regions.
