  • Publication number: 20230124337
    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes at least one memory cell and at least one logic cell. The at least one logic cell is disposed next to the at least one memory cell. The at least one logic cell includes fins. The fins are separated into fin groups for forming transistors. A distance between two adjacent groups of the plurality of fin groups is different from a distance between another two adjacent groups of the plurality of fin groups.

  • Publication number: 20220359002
    Abstract: A memory device includes a first word line and a second word line. A first portion of the first word line is formed in a first metal layer, a second portion of the first word line is formed in a second metal layer above the first metal layer, and a third portion of the first word line is formed in a third metal layer below the second metal layer. A first portion of the second word line is formed in the first metal layer. A second portion of the second word line is formed in the second metal layer. The first portion, the second portion, and the third portion of the first word line have sizes that are different from each other, and the first portion and the second portion of the second word line have sizes that are different from each other.
