DYNAMIC ARRAY ARCHITECTURE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a technique of a dynamic array architecture for a semiconductor device.SOLUTION: A semiconductor device includes a substrate and a plurality of diffusion regions defined within the substrate. The plurality of diffusion regions are separated from each other by a non-active region of the substrate. The semiconductor device includes a plurality of linear gate electrode tracks defined to extend over the substrate in a single common direction. Each linear gate electrode track is defined by one or more linear gate electrode segments. Each of the plurality of linear gate electrode tracks that extends over both the diffusion region and the non-active region of the substrate is defined such that a separation distance between ends of adjacent linear gate electrode segments within the linear gate electrode track is minimized while ensuring adequate electrical isolation between the adjacent linear gate electrode segments.
