Abstract:
The present disclosure relates generally to the field of power supply wiring in a semiconductor device. In one embodiment, a semiconductor device is disclosed that includes, an uppermost metal layer including a power supply enhancing wiring, power supply wiring coupled to the power supply enhancing wiring through a via between the uppermost metal layer and a metal layer underlying the uppermost metal layer, and at least one memory device component disposed in vertical alignment with the via between the uppermost metal layer and the metal layer underlying the uppermost metal layer.

Abstract:
A device includes a first transistor including a first gate electrode including first and second parallel electrode portions each extending in a first direction, and a first connecting electrode portion extending in a second direction approximately orthogonal to the first direction and connecting one ends of the first and second parallel electrode portions to each other, and first and second diffusion layers separated from each other by a channel region under the first gate electrode, a first output line connected to the first diffusion layer of the first transistor, and a second transistor comprising a second gate electrode extending in the second direction, and the second transistor being configured to use the second diffusion layer of the first transistor as one of two diffusion layers that are separated from each other by a channel region under the second gate electrode.
