ABSTRACT:
An SRAM cell that may reduce or eliminate floating body effect when using a SOI and a method for fabricating the same are provided. A floating body of an access transistor of the SRAM is connected to a source region of a driver transistor, for example, through a body extension region extending from an active region. A silicide layer may be formed or a ground line contact may be over-etched to form a conductive contact plug that may provide a current path between the body exterior regions and the source region of the driver transistor.
