Becker, San Jose, Calif., and Michael C. Smayling, San Jose, Calif., for "electrodes of transistors with at least two linear-shaped conductive structures of different length." The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "A layout of a cell of a semiconductor device is disclosed to include a diffusion level layout including a plurality of diffusion region layout shapes. The layout of the cell also includes a gate electrode level layout is defined to include a number of linear-shaped layout features placed to extend in only a first parallel direction. Each of the number of the linear-shaped layout features within the gate electrode level layout of the restricted layout region is rectangular-shaped. The gate electrode level layout includes linear-shaped layout features defined along at least four different lines of extent in the first parallel direction. The layout of the cell also includes a number of interconnect level layouts each of which is defined to pattern conductive features within corresponding interconnect levels above the gate electrode level." The patent application was filed on Sept. 25, 2009 (12/567,623).
