Abstract: The present disclosure describes a patterning process for a strap region in a memory cell for the removal of material between polysilicon lines. The patterning process includes depositing a first hard mask layer in a divot formed on a top portion of a polysilicon layer interposed between a first polysilicon gate structure and a second polysilicon gate; depositing a second hard mask layer on the first hard mask layer. The patterning process also includes performing a first etch to remove the second hard mask layer and a portion of the second hard mask layer from the divot; performing a second etch to remove the second hard mask layer from the divot; and performing a third etch to remove the polysilicon layer not covered by the first and second hard mask layers to form a separation between the first polysilicon gate structure and the second polysilicon structure.

Abstract: An SRAM structure includes first and second gate strips extending along a first direction. A first active region extends across the first gate strip from a top view, and forms a first pull-up transistor with the first gate strip. A second active region extends across the second gate strip from the top view, and forms a second pull-up transistor with the second gate strip. From the top view the first active region has a first stepped sidewall facing away from the second active region. The first stepped sidewall has a first side surface farthest from the second active region, a second side surface set back from the first side surface along the first direction, and a third side surface set back from the second side surface along the first direction.

Abstract: An IC structure includes a first gate strip and a first active region under the first gate strip and forming a first transistor with the first gate strip. From a top view, the first active region has opposite short sides and opposite long sides connecting the short sides and longer than the short sides. First one of the long sides has a first stepped top-view profile. Second one of the long sides has a second stepped top-view profile. The first stepped top-view profile has more step rises than the second stepped top-view profile.
