Abstract:
Fin-based well straps are disclosed herein 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 structure doped with a first dopant concentration of 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 structure doped with a second dopant concentration of the first type dopant and second source/drain features of the first type dopant. The second dopant concentration is greater than (for example, at least three times greater than) the first dopant concentration.

Claim (Index 16):
The method of  claim 11 , wherein the first dopant concentration is about 1\u00d710 15  cm \u22123  to about 1\u00d710 18  cm \u22123  and the second dopant concentration is about 1\u00d710 15  cm \u22123  to about 5\u00d710 18  cm \u22123 .
