  • Patent number: 10108772
    Abstract: Methods of generating an integrated circuit layout include forming a standard cell by providing a first active area adjacent to a first cell boundary line. The first active area is spaced apart from the first cell boundary line by a first distance. A second active area is provided adjacent to a second cell boundary line. The second cell boundary line opposes the first cell boundary line. The second active area is spaced apart from the second cell boundary line by a second distance. Fins are formed on the first and second active areas. The fins extend in a first direction and parallel to one another in a second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction. The first cell boundary line is parallel to the fins. The first distance and the second distance remain constant when a number of the fins on the first and second active areas is changed.

  • Patent number: 9576953
    Abstract: A layout design system for designing a semiconductor device includes a processor, a storage module storing an intermediate design, and a correction module used by the processor to correct the intermediate design. The intermediate design includes an active region and dummy designs on the active region. Each dummy design includes a dummy structure and dummy spacers disposed at opposite sides of the dummy structure. The correction module is configured to alter widths of regions of at least some of the dummy designs. The corrected design is used to produce a semiconductor device having an active fin, a hard mask layer disposed on the active fin, a gate structure crossing the over the hard mask layer, and a spacer disposed on at least one side of the gate structure. The hard mask layer, and the active fin, are provided with widths that vary due to the dummy designs.
