摘要: A semiconductor device includes a first source/drain feature on a front side of a substrate. The device includes a first backside metal line under the first source/drain feature and extending lengthwise along a first direction. The device includes a first backside via disposed between the first source/drain feature and the first backside metal line. The first backside metal line is a first bit line of a first static random access memory (SRAM) cell and is connected to the first source/drain feature through the first backside via. The first backside metal line includes a first portion and a second portion each extending widthwise along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, the first portion is wider than the second portion, and the first portion partially lands on the first backside via. The first and the second portions are substantially aligned on one side along the first direction.

摘要: SRAM cells and SRAM cell arrays are described. In one embodiment, an SRAM cell includes a first inverter and a second inverter cross-coupled with the first inverter to form a first data storage node and a complimentary second data storage node for latching a value. The SRAM cell further includes a first pass-gate transistor and a switch transistor. A first source/drain of the first pass-gate transistor is coupled to the first data storage node, and a second source/drain of the first pass-gate transistor is coupled to a first bit line. The first source/drain of the switch transistor is coupled to the gate of the first pass-gate transistor.

摘要: A memory cell includes first and second active regions extending lengthwise in a first direction, and first, second, third, and fourth gate structures arranged in order from first to fourth along the first direction. Each of the first, second, third, and fourth gate structures extends lengthwise in a second direction that is perpendicular to the first direction. The first, second, third, and fourth gate structures are configured to engage the first and second active regions in forming first, second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth transistors of a write-port of the memory cell. The memory cell also includes a fifth gate structure configured to engage the second active region in forming a seventh transistor of a read-port of the memory cell.

摘要: A device includes a substrate, a contact, a first gate, a second gate, a dielectric feature between the gates, a via, and a conductive line. The gates are each adjacent the contact and aligned lengthwise with each other along a first direction. A first sidewall of the dielectric feature defines an end-wall of the first gate. A second sidewall of the dielectric feature defines an end-wall of the second gate. The conductive line extends along a second direction. A projection of the conductive line onto a top surface of the dielectric feature passes between the first and second sidewalls. The via interfaces with the contact along a second plane. The via has a first dimension on the second plane along the second direction; the contact has a second dimension on the second plane along the second direction. The first dimension is greater than the second dimension.

摘要: A circuit comprises a first voltage line, a second voltage line parallel to the first voltage line, and a bit line between the first voltage line and the second voltage line. The bit line is separated from the first voltage line by a minimum distance allowed by a design rule. The bit line is closer to the first voltage line than to the second voltage line. A first capacitance value between the bit line and the first voltage line is different than a second capacitance value between the bit line and the second voltage line.

摘要: A memory cell includes a device layer including a plurality of transistors and an interconnect structure disposed over the device layer. Each of the transistors includes a gate structure extending lengthwise in a first direction. The interconnect structure includes a bottommost metal line layer electrically coupled to the transistors in the device layer.
