Semiconductor Device Portion Having Gate Electrode Conductive Structures Formed from Rectangular Shaped Gate Electrode Layout Features and Having At Least Eight Transistors

摘要

A semiconductor device includes a substrate portion that includes a plurality of diffusion regions that include at least one p-type diffusion region and at least one n-type diffusion region. A gate electrode level region is formed above the substrate portion to include a number of conductive features defined to extend in only a first parallel direction. Each of the conductive features within the gate electrode level region is fabricated from a respective originating rectangular-shaped layout feature. Some of the conductive features within the gate electrode level region extend over the p-type diffusion regions to form respective PMOS transistor devices. Also, some of the conductive features within the gate electrode level region extend over the n-type diffusion regions to form respective NMOS transistor devices. A total number of the PMOS transistor devices and the NMOS transistor devices in the gate electrode level region is greater than or equal to eight.
