Abstract
In an embodiment, an integrated circuit (IC) device comprises a semiconductor substrate, an isolation region and an active region disposed on the semiconductor substrate, a gate stack disposed over the active region, and a source and a drain disposed in the active region and interposed by the gate stack in a first direction. The active region is at least partially surrounded by the isolation region. A middle portion of the active region laterally extends beyond the gate stack in a second direction that is perpendicular to the first direction.
