    Abstract: An SOC apparatus includes a plurality of gate interconnects with a minimum pitch g, a plurality of metal interconnects with a minimum pitch m, and a plurality of vias interconnecting the gate interconnects and the metal interconnects. The vias have a minimum pitch v. The values m, g, and v are such that g2+m2≧V2 and an LCM of g and m is less than 20 g. The SOC apparatus may further include a second plurality of metal interconnects with a minimum pitch of m2, where m2>m and the LCM of g, m, and m2 is less than 20 g.

    Abstract: 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.

    Abstract: Methods of fabricating middle of line (MOL) layers and devices including MOL layers. A method in accordance with an aspect of the present disclosure includes depositing a hard mask across active contacts to terminals of semiconductor devices of a semiconductor substrate. Such a method also includes patterning the hard mask to selectively expose some of the active contacts and selectively insulate some of the active contacts. The method also includes depositing a conductive material on the patterned hard mask and the exposed active contacts to couple the exposed active contacts to each other over an active area of the semiconductor devices.

    Abstract: A cell circuit includes a first power rail, having a first line length, in a first layer. The first power rail is configured to receive a first voltage for the cell circuit. The cell circuit includes multiple lines in a second layer and a shunt in a third layer. The shunt is electrically coupled to the first power rail and a first set of lines of the multiple lines. The shunt has a second line length shorter than the first line length. The cell circuit includes another shunt in t the third layer. The other shunt is also parallel to the first power rail. The other shunt is electrically coupled to the first power rail and a second set of lines of the multiple lines. The other shunt has a third line length shorter than the first line length.
