CELL HAVING STACKED PICK-UP REGION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18155914 titled 'CELL HAVING STACKED PICK-UP REGION

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an integrated circuit that includes different types of active zones and pick-up regions, as well as power rails and conductive segments. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:

  • The integrated circuit has a p-type active zone in an n-type well and an n-type active zone in a p-type well.
  • There is an n-type pick-up region in the n-type well and a p-type pick-up region in the p-type well.
  • The circuit also includes a first power rail and a second power rail that extend in one direction.
  • There are first and second conductive segments that extend in a different direction.
  • The p-type active zone, n-type active zone, and power rails are arranged along the second direction, separated from each other.
  • The first conductive segment connects the n-type pick-up region to the first power rail, and the second conductive segment connects the p-type pick-up region to the second power rail.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Integrated circuits for electronic devices such as smartphones, computers, and IoT devices.
  • Power management systems in various electronic devices.
  • Circuitry for sensors, actuators, and other components in electronic systems.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Efficient power distribution and management within an integrated circuit.
  • Proper isolation and separation of different active zones and pick-up regions.
  • Improved connectivity and signal transmission between pick-up regions and power rails.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Enhanced performance and reliability of integrated circuits.
  • Reduced power consumption and improved energy efficiency.
  • Compact design and integration of different components within a single circuit.


Original Abstract Submitted

An integrated circuit includes a p-type active zone located in an n-type well, an n-type active zone located in a p-type well, an n-type pick-up region located in the n-type well, and a p-type pick-up region located in the p-type well. The integrated circuit also includes a first power rail and a second power rail extending in a first direction, and a first conductive segment and a second conductive segment extending in a second direction. The first power rail, the p-type active zone, the n-type active zone, and the second power rail are arranged along the second direction separating from each other. The first conductive segment connects the n-type pick-up region with the first power rail, and the second conductive segment connects the p-type pick-up region with the second power rail.
