SENSE AMPLIFIER LAYOUT FOR FINFET TECHNOLOGY |
摘要 |
A sense amplifier (SA) comprises a semiconductor substrate having an oxide definition (OD) region, a pair of SA sensing devices, a SA enabling device, and a sense amplifier enabling signal (SAE) line for carrying an SAE signal. The pair of SA sensing devices have the same poly gate length Lg as the SA enabling device, and they all share the same OD region. When enabled, the SAE signal turns on the SA enabling device to discharge one of the pair of SA sensing devices for data read from the sense amplifier. |

1. A sense amplifier (SA), comprising:
a semiconductor substrate having an oxide definition (OD) region; a pair of SA sensing devices sharing the same OD region, wherein the pair of SA sensing devices are transistors and have the same gate length; an SA enabling device sharing the same OD region as the pair of SA sensing devices; a sense amplifier enabling signal (SAE) line for carrying an SAE signal, for turning on the SA enabling device to discharge one of the pair of SA sensing devices during a data read from the sense amplifier. |
