Abstract
A semiconductor device includes: first and second active regions extending in a first direction and separated by a gap relative to a second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction; and gate structures correspondingly over the first and second active regions, the gate structures extending in the second direction; and each of the gate structures extending at least unilaterally substantially beyond a first side of the corresponding first or second active region that is proximal to the gap or a second side of the corresponding first or second active region that is distal to the gap; and some but not all of the gate structures also extending bilaterally substantially beyond each of the first and second sides of the corresponding first or second active region.
