A 1-Mb (256 K×4 b) CMOS static random-access memory with a high-resistivity load cell was developed with 0.7-μm CMOS process technology. This SRAM achieved a high-speed access of 18 ns. The SRAM uses a three-phase back-bias generator, a bus level-equalizing circuit and a four-stage sense amplifier. A small 4.8×8.5-μm2 cell was realized by the use of a triple-polysilicon structure. The grounded second-polysilicon layer increases cell capacitance and suppresses α-particle-induced soft errors. The chip size measures 7.5×12 mm2
