Patent ID: 11908860
Assignee: TAIWAN SEMICONDUCTOR MANUFACTURING COMPANY LTD.
Field: Semiconductors (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 0:
1. An integrated chip (IC) comprising a device section and a pick-up section disposed on a side of the device section, the IC comprising:
a semiconductor substrate;
a first fin of the semiconductor substrate disposed in the device section;
a second fin of the semiconductor substrate disposed in the pick-up section and laterally spaced from the first fin in a first direction;
a continuous gate structure disposed in the device section, wherein the continuous gate structure extends laterally over both the semiconductor substrate and the first fin in a second direction that is perpendicular to the first direction, wherein a first outermost sidewall of the continuous gate structure is laterally spaced from the second fin in the first direction; and
a first epitaxial pick-up structure disposed on the second fin, wherein the first epitaxial pick-up structure continuously extends from a second outermost sidewall of the second fin to a third outermost sidewall of the second fin, wherein the second outermost sidewall is laterally spaced from the third outermost sidewall in the first direction, and wherein the second outermost sidewall faces the first outermost sidewall.
