US Patent 11895818 Stacked FET SRAM

Embodiments of present invention provide a SRAM device. The SRAM device includes a first, a second, and a third SRAM cell each having a first and a second pass-gate (PG) transistor, wherein the second PG transistor of the second SRAM cell and the first PG transistor of the first SRAM cell are stacked in a first PG transistor cell, and the first PG transistor of the third SRAM cell and the second PG transistor of the first SRAM cell are stacked in a second PG transistor cell. The first and second PG transistors of the first SRAM cell may be stacked on top of, or underneath, the second PG transistor of the second SRAM cell and/or the first PG transistor of the third SRAM cell.
