    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a semiconductor device which is usable in severe radiating environments, such as in outer space. SOLUTION: The device includes an active gate-isolating structure, which is disposed in series with an oxide isolating region between active regions of a memory cell array. The active gate-isolating structure has a polysilicon gate layer coupled electrically to a gate oxide and a supply terminal, and the active gate isolating structure prevents an adjacent active region from extending to form a conducting channel. The gate oxide of the active gate isolating structure is relatively thinner than that of a conventional oxide isolating region. Consequently, adverse effects of electric charges captured by radiation can be reduced.
