摘要: Semiconductor integrated circuit devices are provided which have standard cells with ultra-short standard cell heights. For example, a device comprises an integrated circuit comprising a standard cell which comprises a first cell boundary and a second cell boundary. The standard cell comprises an n-track cell height defined by a distance between the first cell boundary and the second cell boundary, wherein n is four or less.

摘要: A semiconductor structure includes a vertical transport logic circuit cell. The vertical transport logic cell includes a first logic gate and at least a second logic gate. The first logic gate includes at least one input terminal and at least one output terminal. The second logic gate includes at least one input terminal and at least one output terminal. One of the input terminal and the output terminal of the first logic gate shares a pitch of the vertical transport logic circuit cell with one of the input terminal and the output terminal of the second logic gate. The first and second logic gates can include the same type or different types of logic functions.

摘要: Multi-patterning methods are provided for use in fabricating an array of metal lines comprising metal lines with different widths. For example, patterning methods implement spacer-is-dielectric (SID)-based self-aligned double patterning (SADP) methods for fabricating an array of metal lines comprising elongated metal lines with different widths, wherein an “unblock” mask is utilized as part of the process flow to overlap mandrel assigned and non-mandrel assigned features in a given SADP pattern to define regions to unblock a metal fill (remove dielectric material between wires) in a dielectric layer between defined metal lines of an a SADP pattern thus enabling the formation of wide metal lines within any region of a pattern of elongated metal lines formed with a minimum feature width.

摘要: A semiconductor structure including a first logic cell having a first plurality of nanosheet devices along an axis and a second logic cell having a second plurality of nanosheet devices along the axis. Nanosheets of the second plurality of nanosheet devices are wider than nanosheets of the first plurality of nanosheet devices. The first logic cell is a same type as the second logic cell. The first and second logic cells can include inverter circuits or NAND circuits or NOR circuits. When the first logic cell has a height X, a width Y, and an effective width (Weff) Z, then the second logic cell has a height 2X, a width Y, and Weff>2.5 Z.
