摘要: A four times contacted poly pitch (4CPP) static random-access memory (SRAM) cell layout is disclosed that forms six SRAM transistors from one OD region and four poly lines at a frontside of a substrate and provides a double-sided routing structure for word lines, bit lines, and/or voltage lines. For example, a vertical SRAM is disclosed that stacks transistors, vertically, to facilitate scaling needed for advanced IC technology nodes and improve memory performance. The vertical SRAM further includes a double-sided routing structure, which facilitates placement of bit lines, word lines, and voltage lines in a backside metal one (M1) layer and/or a frontside M1 layer to minimize line capacitance and line resistance.

摘要: A method of forming a semiconductor structure includes forming a fin structure having a stack of alternating first semiconductor layers and second semiconductor layers over a substrate, forming cladding layers along sidewalls of the fin structure, forming a dummy gate stack over the cladding layers, and forming source/drain (S/D) features in the fin structure and adjacent to the dummy gate stack. The method further includes removing the dummy gate stack to form a gate trench adjacent to the S/D features, removing the cladding layers to form first openings along the sidewalls of the fin structure, where the first openings extend to below the stack, removing the first semiconductor layers to form second openings between the second semiconductor layers and adjacent to the first openings, and subsequently forming a metal gate stack in the gate trench, the first openings, and the second openings.

摘要: A test structure on a wafer is provided. The test structure includes a plurality of cells under test, a first output pad and a second output pad coupled to different cells, a plurality of first input pads, and a plurality of second input pads. The cells are arranged in rows and columns of a test array. Each of the first input pads is coupled to the cells in respective column of the test array. Each of the second input pads is coupled to the cells in respective row of the test array. A first voltage is applied to one of the first input pads and a second voltage is applied to one of the second input pads to turn on a cell, and a current flowing through the turned-on cell is measured.
