SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18224337 titled 'SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a semiconductor device with a specific arrangement of standard cells and power supply lines on a substrate.

  • The device includes first, second, and third rows of standard cells on an active region of the substrate.
  • The first and second rows have a boundary, as do the first and third rows.
  • Power supply lines are placed along these boundaries.
  • Each standard cell consists of multiple fin patterns that extend in one direction.
  • The fin patterns are arranged in a second direction, avoiding placement on at least one of the boundaries.


Original Abstract Submitted

A semiconductor device includes a substrate having an active region, first standard cells arranged in a first row on the active region, second standard cells arranged in a second row on the active region and having a first boundary with the first standard cells, a third standard cells arranged in a third row on the active region and having a second boundary with the first standard cells, and a plurality of power supply lines, respectively arranged along boundaries. Each of the first to third standard cells includes a plurality of fin patterns extending in the first direction, and the plurality of fin patterns are arranged in a second direction, so as not to be disposed on at least one boundary, among the first and second boundaries.
