SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR INCREASING PACKING DENSITY IN A SEMICONDUCTOR CELL ARRAY

摘要

Systems and methods are provided for using and manufacturing a semiconductor device. A semiconductor device comprises an array of transistors, wherein each respective transistor in at least some of the transistors in the array of transistors (i) is positioned adjacent to a respective first neighboring transistor and a respective second neighboring transistor in the array of transistors, (ii) has a source region that shares a first contact with a source region of the respective first neighboring transistor, and (iii) has a drain region that shares a second contact with a drain region of the respective second neighboring transistor.
