CIRCUIT ARRANGEMENTS HAVING REDUCED DEPENDENCY ON LAYOUT ENVIRONMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18347947 titled 'CIRCUIT ARRANGEMENTS HAVING REDUCED DEPENDENCY ON LAYOUT ENVIRONMENT
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an integrated circuit with a unique structure and circuit layout. Here are the key points:
- The integrated circuit has three main components: a main circuit, a group-one circuit, and a group-two circuit.
- There is a middle active-region structure positioned between the group-one and group-two active-region structures.
- The main circuit includes at least one boundary gate-conductor that intersects the middle active-region structure.
- The group-one circuit has a group-one isolation structure that separates the group-one active-region structure into two parts: one in the group-one circuit and another in a first adjacent circuit.
- Similarly, the group-two circuit has a group-two isolation structure that separates the group-two active-region structure into two parts: one in the group-two circuit and another in a second adjacent circuit.
Original Abstract Submitted
An integrated circuit includes a middle active-region structure between a group-one active-region structure and a group-two active-region structure. The integrated circuit also includes a main circuit, a group-one circuit, and a group-two circuit. The main circuit includes at least one boundary gate-conductor intersecting the middle active-region structure. The group-one circuit includes a group-one isolation structure separating the group-one active-region structure into a first part in the group-one circuit and a second part in a first adjacent circuit. The group-two circuit includes a group-two isolation structure separating the group-two active-region structure into a first part in the group-two circuit and a second part in a second adjacent circuit.
