摘要:
In an aspect of the disclosure, a method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus for assigning feature colors for a multiple patterning process are provided. The apparatus receives integrated circuit layout information including a set of features and an assigned color of a plurality of colors for each feature of a first subset of features of the set of features. In addition, the apparatus performs color decomposition on a second subset of features to assign colors to features in the second subset of features. The second subset of features includes features in the set of features that are not included in the first subset of features with an assigned color.

A transistor cell is provided that includes a continuous oxide definition (OD) region defined in a substrate; a gate (450) for a transistor between a first dummy gate (425) and a second dummy gate (430), wherein a source for the transistor is defined in a first portion of the OD region between the gate and the first dummy gate, and wherein a drain for the transistor is defined in a second portion of the OD region between the gate and a first side of the second dummy gate; a first gate-directed local interconnect (470) and a first diffusion- directed local interconnect (440) couple a third portion of the OD region adjacent a second opposing side of the second dummy gate and the second dummy gate to a source voltage.

A semiconductor device includes a gate and a first active contact adjacent to the gate. Such a device further includes a first stacked contact electrically coupled to the first active contact, including a first isolation layer on sidewalls electrically isolating the first stacked contact from the gate. The device also includes a first via electrically coupled to the gate and landing on the first stacked contact. The first via electrically couples the first stacked contact and the first active contact to the gate to ground the gate.
