*This abstract for appeared for US patent application  number 17715481 Titled 'TECHNIQUES FOR FORMING A DEVICE WITH SCRIBE ASYMMETRY'

==Simplified Explanation==

This abstract describes methods, systems, and devices for creating a device with scribe asymmetry. Scribes, which are the spaces between circuits on a wafer, can be made with different widths to improve the efficiency of the fabrication process. One subset of scribes may have a wider width and be used for placing structures that aid in die testing and integration. Another subset of scribes may have a narrower width and not have any structures placed in them.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

Methods, systems, and devices for techniques for forming a device with scribe asymmetry are described. Circuits (e.g., arrays of memory cells) may be printed on a wafer and separated by scribes of various widths to increase an array efficiency of a fabrication process. For example, a scribe that extends in a first direction may have a width in a second direction. A first subset of scribes may have a first width, where one or more structures may be placed in the first subset of scribes to facilitate die testing and integration. A second subset of scribes may have a second width. In some examples, the structures may not be placed in the second subset of scribes and, accordingly, the second width may be less than the first width.
