Systems and methods relate to a seven transistor static random-access memory (7T SRAM) bit cell which includes a first inverter having a first pull-up transistor, a first pull-down transistor, and a first storage node, and a second inverter having a second pull-up transistor, a second pull-down transistor, and a second storage node. The second storage node is coupled to gates of the first pull-up transistor and the first pull-down transistor. A transmission gate is configured to selectively couple the first storage node to gates of the second pull-up transistor and the second pull-down transistor during a write operation, a standby mode, and a hold mode, and selectively decouple the first storage node from gates of the first pull-up transistor and a first pull-down transistor during a read operation. The 7T SRAM bit cell can be read or written through an access transistor coupled to the first storage node.

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.

An integrated circuit (IC) device may include a first active transistor of a first-type in a first-type region. The first active transistor may have a first-type work function material and a low channel dopant concentration in an active portion of the first active transistor. The IC device may also include a first isolation transistor of the first-type in the first-type region. The second active transistor may have a second-type work function material and the low channel dopant concentration in an active portion of the first isolation transistor. The first isolation transistor may be arranged adjacent to the first active transistor.

A fin-type semiconductor device includes a gate structure and a source/drain structure. The fin-type semiconductor device also includes a gate hardmask structure coupled to the gate structure. The gate hardmask structure comprises a first material. The fin-type semiconductor device further includes a source/drain hardmask structure coupled to the source/drain structure. The source/drain hardmask structure comprises a second material.
