Claims
- 1. A method to manufacture an integrates circuit static memory cell having two MOSFET pass transistors coupled to two cross-coupled inverters, comprising the step of adjusting the difference between the threshold voltage of pass transistor and the threshold voltage of the pull-down MOSFET of said inverters to be positive, wherein the width-to-length ratio of the gate of the pull-down MOSFET is less than 2.5 times the width-to-length ratio of the gate of the pass transistor.
- 2. A method to manufacture an integrated circuit static memory cell as described in 1, wherein the threshold voltage of the MOSFET pass transistors is adjusted with a background surface dopant concentration of the substrate of said transistors, which is higher than and of same conductivity-type as the background surface dopant concentration of the pull-down MOSFET.
- 3. A method to manufacture an integrated circuit static memory cell as described in claim 1, wherein the threshold voltage of the pull-down MOSFET is adjusted by reducing background surface dopant concentration of the substrate of said transistors.
- 4. A method to manufacture an integrated circuit static memory cell as described in claim 1, wherein the threshold voltage of said pass transistors is adjusted with a gate oxide thicker than the gate oxide of the pull-down MOSFET.
- 5. A method to manufacture an integrated circuit static memory cell as described in claim 1, where in the threshold voltage of the pull-down MOSFET is adjusted with a gate oxide thinner than the gate oxide of the pass transistors.
- 6. A method to manufacture an integrated circuit static memory cell as described in claim 1, wherein the gate of the pass transistors is doped with accepter impurity arid the gate of the pull-down transistor is doped with donor impurity.
