Claim:
A structure, comprising: a gate having a length extending in a first direction and a width extending in a second direction; a first device having a first diffusion comprising a drain region and a source region, wherein the first diffusion has a length extending in the first direction and a width extending in the second direction; a second device having a second diffusion comprising a drain region and a source region, wherein the second diffusion has a length extending in the first direction and a width extending in the second direction; and a first isolation region separating the first diffusion of the first device and the second diffusion of the second device, wherein: the first device and the second device are aligned in the second direction in an end-to-end layout along the width of the gate; the width of the first diffusion of the first device is a first multiple of the length of the gate or of a channel length of the structure; the width of the second diffusion of the second device is the first multiple of the length of the gate or of the channel length of the structure; and the width of the first diffusion of the first device and the width of the second diffusion of the second device range from about 2× to about 10× of the length of the gate or of the channel length.
