Abstract

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.

Claims (1)

1. A semiconductor memory device comprising a plurality of MOS transistors, wherein said plurality of MOS transistors are formed on an SOI substrate, wherein the body region located between a source region and a drain region of a MOS transistor having a gate length shorter than a predetermined gate length out of said plurality of MOS transistors is electrically fixed, wherein the body region located between a source region and a drain region of a MOS transistor having a gate length longer than said predetermined gate length out of said plurality of MOS transistors is rendered floating electrically.
