  • Patent number: 7781834
    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a gate electrode over a semiconductor substrate, wherein the gate electrode has a gate width direction; a source/drain region in the semiconductor substrate and adjacent the gate electrode, wherein the source/drain region has a first width in a direction parallel to the gate width direction; and a bulk pick-up region in the semiconductor substrate and abutting the source/drain region. The bulk pick-up region and the source/drain region have opposite conductivity types. The bulk pick-up region has a second width in the width direction, and wherein the second width is substantially less than the first width.
