    Abstract: Methods for abutting two cells with different sized diffusion regions and the resulting devices are provided. Embodiments include abutting a first cell having first drain and source diffusion regions and a second cell having second drain and source diffusion regions, larger than the first diffusion regions, by: forming a dummy gate at a boundary between the two cells; forming a continuous drain diffusion region having an upper portion crossing the dummy gate and encompassing the entire first drain diffusion region and part of the second drain diffusion region and having a lower portion beginning over the dummy gate and encompassing a remainder of the second drain diffusion region; forming a continuous source diffusion region that is the mirror image of the continuous drain diffusion region; and forming a poly-cut mask over the dummy gate between, but separated from, the continuous drain and source diffusion regions.

    Abstract: At least one method, apparatus and system disclosed herein for forming a semiconductor device comprising a plurality of cells having metal features formed using triple patterning processes. An overall pattern layout is created for a first cell that is to be manufactured using a triple patterning process for forming a plurality of metal features on a metal layer. A first color metal feature is formed in the metal layer. The first color metal feature is associated with a first patterning process of the triple patterning process. A second color metal feature is formed in the metal layer. The second color metal feature is associated with a second patterning process of the triple patterning process. A third color metal feature is formed in the metal layer. The third color metal feature is associated with a third patterning process of the triple patterning process. At least one of the first, second, and third color metal features is re-colorable.

    Abstract: In an exemplary structure, a first conductor connects a power source to integrated circuit devices. The first conductor includes a first axis defining a first side and a second side. A second conductor, perpendicular to the first conductor, is connected to the first conductor by first vias. A third conductor, parallel to the first conductor, is connected to the second conductor by second vias. The third conductor includes a second axis defining a third side and a fourth side. The first side and the third side are aligned in a first plane perpendicular to the conductors and the second side and the fourth side are aligned in a second plane perpendicular to the conductors. The first vias contact the first conductor in only the first side. The second vias contact the third conductor in only the third side. And the second conductor is outside the second plane.
