    Abstract: Devices and methods to reduce parasitic capacitance are disclosed. A device may include a dielectric layer. The device may include first and second conductive structures and an etch stop layer proximate to the dielectric layer. The etch stop layer may define first and second openings proximate to a region of the dielectric layer between the first and second conductive structures. The device may include first and second airgaps within the region. The device may include a layer of material proximate to (e.g., on, above, or over) the etch stop layer. The layer of material proximate to the etch stop layer may cover the first and second airgaps.

    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: An apparatus includes an array of bit cells that include a first row of bit cells and a second row of bit cells. The apparatus also includes a first global read word line configured to be selectively coupled to the first row of bit cells and to the second row of bit cells. The apparatus further includes a second global read word line configured to be selectively coupled to the first row of bit cells and to the second row of bit cells. The apparatus also includes a global write word line configured to be selectively coupled to the first row of bit cells and to the second row of bit cells. The first global read word line, the second global read word line, and the global write word line are located in a common metal layer.
