A memory cell comprising a single transistor and an associated capacitor constitutes the basic building block of a new and improved random-access-memory array. If, for example, the GIMIC-O technology is used for fabricating the cell, it is possible to achieve a bipolar cell whose area is less than one square mil. An advantgeous 16K-bit LSI memory chip characterized by high speed and low cost is thereby made feasible. An MOS version of the memory cell is also proposed.
