HIGH DENSITY SRAM ARRAY DESIGN WITH SKIPPED, INTER-LAYER CONDUCTIVE CONTACTS |
摘要 |
A static random access memory (SRAM) cell includes a first conductive layer including a wordline landing pad extending into a neighboring memory cell in an adjacent row of a memory array. The wordline landing pad in the first conductive layer is electrically isolated from all gate contacts of the neighboring memory cell. The SRAM cell also includes a second conductive layer including a wordline coupled to the wordline landing pad in the first conductive layer. The SRAM cell further includes a first via coupling a gate contact of a pass transistor gate in the SRAM cell to the wordline landing pad in the first conductive layer. The SRAM cell also includes a second via coupling the wordline landing pad and the wordline of the second conductive layer. |

1. A static random access memory (SRAM) cell, comprising:
a first conductive layer including a wordline landing pad extending into a neighboring memory cell in an adjacent row of a memory array, the wordline landing pad in the first conductive layer being electrically isolated from all gate contacts of the neighboring memory cell; a second conductive layer including a wordline coupled to the wordline landing pad in the first conductive layer; a first via coupling a gate contact of a pass transistor gate in the SRAM cell to the wordline landing pad in the first conductive layer; and a second via coupling the wordline landing pad and the wordline of the second conductive layer. |
