Abstract
In a layout structure of a plurality of metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) transistors, the layout structure may include a first group of MOS transistors having first drain regions and first source regions that are individually allocated to a group active region that is isolated from all sides by a trench isolation, and a second group of MOS transistors having second drain regions and second source regions allocated to the group active region. The second group is disposed between the first group and an edge of the group active region. One or both of the first drain regions and first source regions are not in contact with an edge of the trench isolation in a length direction of a finger-type gate electrode.
