    Abstract: Static random access memory (SRAM) bit cells with wordlines on separate metal layers for increased performance are disclosed. In one aspect, an SRAM bit cell is disclosed employing a write wordline in a second metal layer, a first read wordline in a third metal layer, and a second read wordline in a fourth metal layer. Employing wordlines in separate metal layers allows wordlines to have increased widths, which decrease wordline resistance, decrease access time, and increase performance of the SRAM bit cell. To employ wordlines in separate metal layers, multiple tracks in a first metal layer are employed. To couple read wordlines to the tracks to communicate with SRAM bit cell transistors, landing pads are disposed on corresponding tracks disposed in the first metal layer. Landing pads corresponding to the write wordline are placed on corresponding tracks disposed in the first metal layer.

    Abstract: Middle-of-line (MOL) manufactured integrated circuits (ICs) employing local interconnects of metal lines using an elongated via are disclosed. Related methods are also disclosed. In particular, different metal lines in a metal layer may need to be electrically interconnected during a MOL process for an IC. In this regard, to allow for metal lines to be interconnected without providing such interconnections above the metal lines that may be difficult to provide in a printing process for example, in an exemplary aspect, an elongated or expanded via(s) is provided in a MOL layer in an IC. The elongated via is provided in the MOL layer below the metal layer in the MOL layer and extended across two or more adjacent metal layers in the metal layer of the MOL layer. Moving the interconnections above the MOL layer can simplify the manufacturing of ICs, particularly at low nanometer (nm) node sizes.

    Abstract: An apparatus includes a first read port, a second read port, a write port, and at least one storage latch. A width of a bit cell that includes the first read port, the second read port, and the write port is greater than twice a contacted poly pitch (CPP) associated with the bit cell. For example, a bit cell may be a 3-port static random access memory (SRAM) bit cell that is compatible with self-aligned double patterning (SADP) processes and that can be manufactured using semiconductor manufacturing processes of less than 14 nanometers (nm).

A gate of the gating transistor is coupled to a first wordline. The gating transistor is configured to selectively couple a bitline to the first node of the first inverter responsive to a first wordline signal.
