Abstract:
A memory circuit layout design includes first, second, third, and fourth memory cell regions abutting one another and corresponding to respective first, second, third, and fourth memory cells of the memory circuit. A first oxide diffusion (OD) layout pattern corresponds to a first active structure for forming the first and second memory cells, extends along a first direction, and has a shared source portion overlapping the first and second memory cell regions. A second OD layout pattern corresponds to a second active structure for forming the third and fourth memory cells, extends along the first direction, and has a shared source portion overlapping the third and fourth memory cell regions. A first conductive layout pattern corresponds to a first conductive structure under a lowest via plug layer of the memory circuit, extends along a second direction, and overlaps the shared source portions of the first and second OD layout patterns.

Claim (Index 20):
The layout design of  claim 19 , further comprising:\n a first oxide diffusion (OD) layout pattern corresponding to a first active structure, the first OD layout pattern extending in the second direction and overlapping the first conductive layout pattern, the third conductive layout pattern, the first gate layout pattern, and the second gate layout pattern; and a second OD layout pattern corresponding to a second active structure, the second OD layout pattern extending in the second direction and overlapping the first conductive layout pattern, the fourth conductive layout pattern, the first gate layout pattern, and the second gate layout pattern.
