ABSTRACT:
The present invention includes an integrated circuit having a self-aligned contact that makes contact to both a region within the substrate and a capacitor plate of a capacitor that is adjacent to the doped region. The present invention also includes a static-random-access memory cell with a capacitor having a first plate and a second plate. The first plate includes a first plate section of a gate electrode of a transistor, and the second plate includes a first conductive member that is substantially coincident with the first plate section. The second plate may be formed over a gate electrode of a latch transistor or over a word line. The disclosure includes methods of forming the integrated circuit and the static-random-access memory cell.
