    摘要: A word line driver includes an active area having a length that extends in a first direction over a semiconductor substrate. A plurality of fingers formed over an upper surface of the active area. Each of the plurality of fingers has a length that extends in a second direction and forms a MOS transistor with a portion of the active area. A first dummy structure is disposed between an outer one of the plurality of fingers and an edge of the semiconductor substrate. The first dummy structure includes a portion that is at least partially disposed over a portion of the active area.

    摘要: A method and layout for forming word line decoder devices and other devices having word line decoder cells provides for forming metal interconnect layers using non-DPL photolithography operations and provides for stitching distally disposed transistors using a lower or intermediate metal layer or a subjacent conductive material. The transistors may be disposed in or adjacent longitudinally arranged word line decoder or other cells and the conductive coupling using the metal or conductive material lowers gate resistance between transistors and avoids RC signal delays.
