Abstract
A vertical, fin-based field effect transistor (FinFET) device includes an array of individual FinFET cells. The array includes a plurality of rows and columns of separated fins. Each of the separated fins is in electrical communication with a source contact. The vertical FinFET device also includes one or more rows of first inactive fins disposed on a first set of sides of the array of individual FinFET cells, one or more columns of second inactive fins disposed on a second set of sides of the array of individual FinFET cells, and a gate region surrounding the individual FinFET cells of the array of individual FinFET cells, the first inactive fins, and the second inactive fins.
