    摘要: A memory circuit includes a first plurality of memory arrays disposed in a column fashion. The memory circuit includes a first plurality of keepers each of which is electrically coupled with a corresponding one of the first plurality of memory arrays. A first current limiter is electrically coupled with and shared by the first plurality of keepers. A first plurality of sector switches each are electrically coupled between the first current limiter and a respective one of the first plurality of keepers.

    摘要: The layouts, device structures, and methods described above utilize dummy devices to extend the diffusion regions of edge structures and/or non-allowed structures to the dummy device. Such extension of diffusion regions resolves or reduces LOD and edge effect issues. In addition, treating the gate structure of a dummy device next to an edge device also allows only one dummy structure to be added next to the dummy device and saves the real estate on the semiconductor chip. The dummy devices are deactivated and their performance is not important. Therefore, utilizing dummy devices to extend the diffusion regions of edge structures and/or non-allowed structures according to design rules allows the resolution or reduction or LOD and edge effect issues without the penalty of yield reduction or increase in layout areas.

    摘要: A read module for register files includes at least one local I/O module coupled to a memory cell for outputting a value stored in the memory cell; and at least one global bit line driver having an input terminal coupled to the local I/O module, and a output terminal coupled to a global bit line for selectively pre-charging the global bit line at a default voltage in response to a local pre-charge signal, and outputting the value stored in the memory cell to the global bit line when the local pre-charge signal is not asserted.
