    Abstract: An IC structure includes first and second gates, first and second source/drain regions, and an isolation region. The first and second gates each have a first portion extending along a first direction and a second portion extending along a second direction. The first source/drain regions are respectively on opposite sides of the first portion of the first gate. The second source/drain regions are respectively on opposite sides of the first portion of the second gate. The isolation region has a lower portion between a first one of the first source/drain regions and a first one of the second source/drain regions, and an upper portion partially overlapping with the second portion of first gate and the second portion of the second gate. A width of the lower portion is a less than a width of the upper portion.

    Abstract: A device includes an integrated circuit including a single standard cell that is selected from a standard cell library used for design of the layout of the integrated circuit. The single standard cell includes a first active region, a second active region, a first gate, a second gate, and a third gate. The first gate is arranged over the first active region, for formation of at least one first electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection component. The second gate is separate from the first gate, and the second gate is arranged over the second active region, for formation of at least one second ESD protection component. The third gate is separate from the first gate and the second gate, and the third gate is arranged over the first active region and the second active region, for formation of at least one transistor.

    Abstract: A FinFET device includes a plurality of FinFET devices formed on a corresponding plurality of fins in a multilevel interconnect semiconductor device. Each source and each drain is coupled to a metal interconnect level by a metal resistive element that is subjacent the lowermost interconnect level. In one embodiment, a metal segment extending over a plurality of the fins includes contacts to each of the fins, thereby providing subjacent metal resistive elements of different lengths. The plurality of fins and subjacent metal segments are arranged such that each of the FinFET devices has the same total resistance provided by the source and drain metal resistive elements, even though the source metal resistive element and drain metal resistive element associated with the fins may have different lengths. The arrangement provides the same turn-on resistance and the same ESD failure current for each FinFET device.
