Abstract

Embodiments include an array of SRAM cells, an SRAM cell, and methods of forming the same. An embodiment is an array of static random access memory (SRAM) cells including a plurality of overlapping rectangular regions. Each of overlapping rectangular regions including an entire first SRAM cell, a portion of a second adjacent SRAM cell in a first corner region of the rectangular region, and a portion of a third adjacent SRAM cell in a second corner region of the rectangular region, the second corner region being opposite the first corner region. Embodiments also include multi-finger cell layouts.
