Abstract:
Fin-based well straps are disclosed for improving performance of memory arrays, such as static random access memory arrays. An exemplary integrated circuit (IC) device includes a FinFET disposed over a doped region of a first type dopant. The FinFET includes a first fin having a first width doped with the first type dopant and first source/drain features of a second type dopant. The IC device further includes a fin-based well strap disposed over the doped region of the first type dopant. The fin-based well strap connects the doped region to a voltage. The fin-based well strap includes a second fin having a second width doped with the first type dopant and second source/drain features of the first type dopant. The second width is greater than the first width. For example, a ratio of the second width to the first width is greater than about 1.1 and less than about 1.5.

Claim (Index 6):
The integrated circuit device of  claim 1 , wherein:\n the FinFET includes a first gate structure that traverses the first fin, such that the first gate structure is disposed between the first source/drain features; and the fin-based well strap includes a second gate structure that traverses the second fin, such that the second gate structure is disposed between the second source/drain features.
