Abstract

Improved 14 nm cells, as depicted in FIGS. 1-53, realize reduced pattern complexity, high yield, high performance, and improved compactness (one poly-stripe smaller than existing designs for the disclosed cells). The invention relates to ICs made using these cells (or topologically equivalent variants thereof), as well as processes for makings such ICs using said cells (or their variants).
