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 17):
The memory array of  claim 14 , wherein:\n the first fin has a first dopant concentration of the first type dopant, the second fin has a second dopant concentration of the first type dopant, the third fin has a third dopant concentration of the second type dopant, and the fourth fin has a fourth dopant concentration of the second type dopant; and the second dopant concentration is at least three times greater than the first dopant concentration and the fourth dopant concentration is at least three times greater than the third dopant concentration.
