Abstract

A semiconductor memory having a memory cell structure capable of reducing soft error without complicating a circuit configuration. Specifically, an inverter (I 1 ) consists of a NMOS transistor (N 1 ) and a PMOS transistor (P 1 ), and an inverter (I 2 ) consists of a NMOS transistor (N 2 ) and a PMOS transistor (P 2 ). The inverters (I 1, I 2 ) are subjected to cross section. The NMOS transistor (N 1 ) is formed within a P well region (PW 0 ), and the NMOS transistor (N 2 ) is formed within a P well region (PW 1 ). The P well regions (PW 0 , PW 1 ) are oppositely disposed with an N well region (NW) interposed therebetween.
