    Abstract: Some embodiments relate to a method for pre-coloring data within an integrated chip layout to avoid overlay errors that result from mask misalignment during multiple patterning lithography. The method may be performed by generating a graphical IC layout file containing an integrated chip layout having a plurality of IC shapes. The IC shapes within the graphical IC layout file are assigned a color during decomposition. The IC shapes are further pre-colored in a manner that deliberately assigns the pre-colored data to a same mask. During mask building data associated with IC shapes that have been pre-colored is automatically sent to a same mask, regardless of the colors that are assigned to the shapes. Therefore, the pre-colored shapes are not assigned to a masked based upon a decomposition, but rather based upon the pre-coloring. By assigning IC shapes to a same mask through pre-coloring, overlay errors can be reduced.

    Abstract: Some aspects of the present disclosure a method. In this method, a wordline voltage is provided to a wordline, which is coupled to a plurality of memory cells. A boost enable signal is provided. The state of the boost enable signal is indicative of whether the wordline voltage at a predetermined position on the wordline has reached a non-zero, predetermined wordline voltage. The wordline voltage is selectively boosted to a boosted wordline voltage level based on the boost enable signal.

    Abstract: A device disclosed includes first and second rows of memory cells, a first data line, and a first continuous data line. The first and second rows of memory cells are arranged in a first sub-bank and a second sub-bank, separated from the first sub-bank, respectively. The first data line is arranged across the first sub-bank and coupled to a first memory cell in the first row of memory cells. The first continuous data line includes a first portion arranged across the first sub-bank and a second portion arranged across the second sub-bank. The first continuous data line is coupled to a second memory cell in the second row of memory cells. The first portion of the first continuous data line is disposed in a first metal layer. The first data line and the second portion of the first continuous data line are in a second metal layer.
