    Abstract: First and second active regions are doped with different types of impurities, and extend in a first direction and spaced apart from each other in a second direction. First and third gate structures, which are on the first active region and a first portion of the isolation layer between the first and second active regions, extend in the second direction and are spaced apart from each other in the first direction. Second and fourth gate structures, which are on the second active region and the first portion, extend in the second direction, are spaced apart from each other in the first direction, and face and are spaced apart from the first and third gate structures, respectively, in the second direction. First to fourth contacts are on portions of the first to fourth gate structures, respectively. The first and fourth contacts are connected, and the second and third contacts are connected.

    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a virtual power supplier, a driving signal generator and a load driver. The virtual power supplier boosts a driving voltage to generate a virtual voltage. The driving signal generator generates a driving signal based on the virtual voltage, such that the driving signal has a voltage level that is reinforced as compared with a voltage level of the driving voltage. The load driver drives a load based on the driving voltage and the driving signal.

    Abstract: A layout design system for designing a semiconductor device includes a processor, a storage module storing an intermediate design, and a correction module used by the processor to correct the intermediate design. The intermediate design includes an active region and dummy designs on the active region. Each dummy design includes a dummy structure and dummy spacers disposed at opposite sides of the dummy structure. The correction module is configured to alter widths of regions of at least some of the dummy designs. The corrected design is used to produce a semiconductor device having an active fin, a hard mask layer disposed on the active fin, a gate structure crossing the over the hard mask layer, and a spacer disposed on at least one side of the gate structure. The hard mask layer, and the active fin, are provided with widths that vary due to the dummy designs.
