Popis: 1-transistor and 2-transistor (1T/2T) SRAM are fabricated using 14 nm baseline foundry process without any process modifications. A bi-stable self-latch mechanism is established in a single transistor where its p-type body becomes electrically floating by reverse biased, buried depletion regions from adjacent n-wells. The bit cell operation and the disturb immunity are verified. A unit cell size of $0.039\ \mu \mathrm{m}^{2}$ is achieved, offering >2x area reduction over 6T-SRAM and providing comparable power and performance.
