Abstract

A static random access memory (SRAM) cell includes a first gate and a second gate each extending in a first direction. A first gap separates the first gate from the second gate in the first direction. The SRAM cell includes a Vcc contact extending in the first direction. A second gap separates the Vcc contact and the first gate in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. No segment of the Vcc contact overlaps with the first gap in the first direction. The SRAM cell includes a Vss contact extending in the first direction. A third gap separates the Vss contact from the first gate in the second direction. A segment of the Vss contact is disposed to the first gap. The Vss contact is smaller than the Vcc contact in the second direction.
