Integrated circuit device with gate level region including non-gate linear conductive segment positioned within 965 nanometers of four transistors of first type and four transistors of second type

摘要

A semiconductor device includes a substrate portion having a plurality of diffusion regions defined therein. The semiconductor device includes a gate electrode level region including a number of conductive features defined to extend in only a first parallel direction. Adjacent ones of the number of conductive features that share a common line of extent in the first parallel direction are fabricated from respective originating layout features that are separated from each other by an end-to-end spacing having a size that is substantially equal across the gate electrode level region and is minimized to an extent allowed by a semiconductor device manufacturing capability. Some of the conductive features within the gate electrode level region extend over the plurality of diffusion regions to form PMOS or NMOS transistor devices. A total number of the PMOS and NMOS transistor devices in the gate electrode level region is greater than or equal to eight.
