INTEGRATED CIRCUIT HAVING TRANSISTORS WITH DIFFERENT WIDTH SOURCE AND DRAIN TERMINALS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18152007 titled 'INTEGRATED CIRCUIT HAVING TRANSISTORS WITH DIFFERENT WIDTH SOURCE AND DRAIN TERMINALS
Simplified Explanation
The integrated circuit described in the patent application includes a first terminal-conductor, a second terminal-conductor, and a gate-conductor positioned between them. The first terminal-conductor intersects both an active-region structure and a power rail, while the second terminal-conductor intersects the active-region structure without intersecting the power rail. The gate-conductor intersects the active-region structure and is adjacent to both terminal-conductors, with the first terminal-conductor being wider than the second terminal-conductor by a predetermined amount.

Original Abstract Submitted
An integrated circuit includes a first terminal-conductor, a second terminal-conductor, and a gate-conductor between the first terminal-conductor and the second terminal-conductor. The first terminal-conductor intersects both an active-region structure and a power rail. The second terminal-conductor intersects the active-region structure without intersecting the power rail. The gate-conductor intersects the active-region structure and is adjacent to the first terminal-conductor and the second terminal-conductor. A first width of the first terminal-conductor is larger than a second width of the second terminal-conductor by a predetermined amount.
