Abstract
Apparatuses including semiconductor layout to mitigate local layout effects are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a plurality of standard cells each including an active region, an isolation region adjacent the active region, and a first gate structure disposed on the active region and the isolation region. The first gate structure includes a first gate portion disposed on the active region, and a first contact portion disposed on the isolation region. The apparatus further includes a second gate structure disposed on the active region and the isolation region. The second gate structure includes a second gate portion disposed on the active region, and a second contact portion disposed on the isolation region. In the apparatus, a distance between a first contact point and the first gate portion is substantially equal to a distance between a second contact point and the second gate portion.
