A method for generating a layout for a FinFET device is disclosed. The method includes receiving an initial layout containing an active region that has an edge extending in a first direction. The method includes designating a portion of the layout as a first region. The first region contains the active region. The method includes designating an elongate portion of the first region as a second region that extends in the first direction. The method includes designating a different elongate portion of the first region as a third region that extends in the first direction and that is adjacent to the second region in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The method includes enlarging the active region if the edge of the active region falls inside the third region, and shrinking the active region if the edge of the active region falls outside the third region.

A method for designing a semiconductor ic chip includes dividing the chip into functional blocks such as a core portion and one or more other functional cells and applying design rules concerning the spatial arrangement of semiconductor fins to the core portion but not to the other functional cells. The design guidelines include the application of design rules to some but not all functional blocks of the chip, may be stored on a computer-readable medium and the design of the semiconductor ic chip and the generation of a photomask set for manufacturing the semiconductor ic chip may be carried out using a CAD or other automated design system. The semiconductor ic chip formed in accordance with this method includes semiconductor fins that are formed in both the core portion and the other functional cells but are only required to be tightly packed in the core portion.

摘要:
An angled implantation process is used in implanting semiconductor fins of a semiconductor device and provides for covering some but not necessarily all of semiconductor fins of a first type with patterned photoresist, and implanting using an implant angle such that all semiconductor fins of a second type are implanted and none of the semiconductor fins of the first type, are implanted. A higher tilt or implant angle is achieved due to the reduced portions of patterned photoresist, that are used.
