一种半导体设备，包含基板及若干经定义于基板内之扩散区，该扩散区系借由基板之非主动区而彼此分离。该半导体设备包含若干经定义成以单一共同方向在基板上方延伸之线形闸极轨道，各线形闸极轨道系借由一或更多线形闸极片段加以定义。将在基板之扩散区及非主动区两者上方延伸之每一线形闸极轨道，定义成可使线形闸极轨道内之相邻线形闸极片段的端部之间的分隔距离最小化，同时确保相邻线形闸极片段之间的适当电隔离。

A semiconductor device includes a substrate and a number of diffusion regions defined within the substrate. The diffusion regions are separated from each other by a non-active region of the substrate. The semiconductor device includes a number of linear gate electrode tracks defined to extend over the substrate in a single common direction. Each linear gate electrode track is defined by one or more linear gate electrode segments. Each linear gate electrode track that extends over both a diffusion region and a non-active region of the substrate is defined to minimize a separation distance between ends of adjacent linear gate electrode segments within the linear gate electrode track, while ensuring adequate electrical isolation between the adjacent linear gate electrode segments.
