A semiconductor integrated circuit device, e.g., a memory cell of an SRAM, is
formed
of a pair of inverters having their input and output points connected in a crisscross
manner and being formed of drive n-channel MISFETs and load p-channel MISFETs.
The n-channel MISFETs and p-channel MISFETs have their back gates supplied with
power supply voltage and a ground voltage, respectively. The MISFETs are formed
with a metal silicide layer on the gate electrodes G and source regions (hatched
areas) and without the formation of a metal silicide layer on the drain regions,
respectively, whereby the leakage current of the MISFETs due to a voltage difference
between the drain regions and wells can be reduced, and, thus, the power consumption
can be reduced.
