Patent ID: 11862621
Assignee: TSMC NANJING COMPANY, LIMITED
Field: Semiconductors (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H  G | IPC G  H

Claim 7:
8. The IC device of claim 1, further comprising:
a first active region of a first semiconductor type, wherein
the first active region extends discontinuously along a first axis, and
the first active region comprises first and second portions spaced from each other along the first axis;

a second active region of a second semiconductor type different from the first semiconductor type, wherein
the second active region extends continuously along the first axis, and
the second active region overlaps, along a second axis transverse to the first axis, the first and second portions of the first active region and a spacing between the first and second portions of the first active region; and

first through third gate electrodes extending along the second axis and over the second active region, wherein
the first gate electrode is over the first portion of the first active region,
the second gate electrode is over the second portion of the first active region, and
the third gate electrode is over the spacing between the first and second portions of the first active region,

wherein
the plurality of transistors comprises
first and second transistors of a first type, and
third through fifth transistors of a second type different from the first type,

the first gate electrode and the first portion of the first active region are configured as the first transistor,
the second gate electrode and the second portion of the first active region are configured as the second transistor, and
the first through third gate electrodes and the second active region are correspondingly configured as the third through fifth transistors.
