In a complete CMOS SRAM having a memory cell composed of six MISFETs
formed over a substrate, a capacitor element having a stack structure is
formed of a lower electrode covering the memory cell, an upper electrode,
and a capacitor insulating film (dielectric film) interposed between the
lower electrode and the upper electrode. One electrode (the lower
electrode) of the capacitor element is connected to one storage node of a
flip-flop circuit, and the other electrode (the upper electrode) is
connected to the other storage node. As a result, the storage node
capacitance of the memory cell of the SRAM is increased to improve the
soft error resistance.
