US Patent 7242060 Semiconductor memory device including an SOI substrate

A semiconductor memory device includes a plurality of N and P channel MOS transistors. The plurality of MOS transistors are formed on an SOI (Silicon On Insulator) substrate. Each MOS transistor includes a source region, a drain region, and a body region located between the source region and the drain region. The body region of at least one N channel MOS transistor is electrically fixed. The body region of at least one P channel MOS transistor is rendered floating.
