SEMICONDUCTOR CELL BLOCKS HAVING NON-INTEGER MULTIPLE OF CELL HEIGHTS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18048186 titled 'SEMICONDUCTOR CELL BLOCKS HAVING NON-INTEGER MULTIPLE OF CELL HEIGHTS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a semiconductor cell block consisting of stacked layers, with each layer having a different height. The second layer height is larger than the first layer height and is not an integer multiple of it. The cell block also includes two semiconductor logic cells, with the second cell height being larger than the first cell height and not an integer multiple of it.

  • The patent application describes a semiconductor cell block with non-integer height ratios between layers and logic cells.
  • The cell block consists of stacked layers, with each layer having a different height.
  • The second layer height is larger than the first layer height and is not an integer multiple of it.
  • The cell block includes two semiconductor logic cells, with the second cell height being larger than the first cell height and not an integer multiple of it.

Potential Applications

  • This technology could be applied in the field of semiconductor manufacturing.
  • It may find use in the development of advanced integrated circuits and electronic devices.

Problems Solved

  • The patent application addresses the need for non-integer height ratios in semiconductor cell blocks.
  • It solves the problem of accommodating different cell heights within a stacked layer structure.

Benefits

  • The technology allows for more flexibility in designing and manufacturing semiconductor cell blocks.
  • It enables the creation of complex integrated circuits with varying cell heights.
  • The non-integer height ratios provide more precise control over the layout and functionality of the semiconductor cell block.


Original Abstract Submitted

A semiconductor cell block includes a series of layers arranged in a stack. The layers include one or more first layers each having a first height and one or more second layers each having a second height. The second height is larger than the first height, and the second height is a non-integer multiple of the first height. The semiconductor cell block also includes a first semiconductor logic cell having a first cell height in one of the series of layers, and a second semiconductor logic cell having a second cell height in one of the series of layers. The second cell height is larger than the first cell height, and the second cell height is a non-integer value multiple of the first cell height.
