Abstract
A three element SRAM cell consisting of a gate transistor, a load device and a bistable GeSi/Si quantum well tunnel diode as the storage element is proposed and demonstrated with a test structure. Being composed of a couple of closely-spaced n-type and p-type δ-doped layers and a GeSi/Si superlattice, the quantum diode has a unique bistable characteristic and features of high density and high speed. The new SRAM cell is expected to have both the advantages of high speed of SRAM's and high density of DRAM's.
