摘要: A Static Random Access Memory (SRAM) cell includes a first long boundary and a second long boundary parallel to a first direction, and a first short boundary and a second short boundary parallel to a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The first and the second long boundaries are longer than, and form a rectangle with, the first and the second short boundaries. A CVss line carrying a VSS power supply voltage crosses the first long boundary and the second long boundary. The CVss line is parallel to the second direction. A bit-line and a bit-line bar are on opposite sides of the CVss line. The bit-line and the bit-line bar are configured to carry complementary bit-line signals.

摘要: A system and method for a memory cell layout is disclosed. An embodiment comprises forming dummy layers and spacers along the sidewalls of the dummy layer. Once the spacers have been formed, the dummy layers may be removed and the spacers may be used as a mask. By using the spacers instead of a standard lithographic process, the inherent limitations of the lithographic process can be avoided and further scaling of FinFET devices can be achieved.
