Abstract

A standard cell includes: a gate interconnect; a dummy gate interconnect formed to be adjacent to the gate interconnect on the right side of the gate interconnect in the figure in the X direction; a pad provided between the gate interconnect and the dummy gate interconnect; a nanosheet formed to overlap the gate interconnect as viewed in plan and connected with the pad; and a dummy nanosheet formed to overlap the dummy gate interconnect as viewed in plan and connected with the pad.

Claims (43)

1. A semiconductor integrated circuit device provided with first and second standard cells,

wherein

the first and second standard cells are arranged side by side in a first direction,

the first standard cell includes

a first gate interconnect,

a first dummy gate interconnect formed to be adjacent to the first gate interconnect on a side of the first gate interconnect closer to the second standard cell in the first direction,

a first nanosheet formed to overlap the first gate interconnect as viewed in plan and connected with the first pad, and

a first dummy nanosheet formed to overlap the first dummy gate interconnect as viewed in plan and connected with the first pad, and

the second standard cell includes

a second gate interconnect,

a second dummy gate interconnect formed to be adjacent to the second gate interconnect on a side of the second gate interconnect closer to the first standard cell in the first direction and also formed to be adjacent to the first dummy gate interconnect, and

a second pad provided between the second gate interconnect and the second dummy gate interconnect.

2. The semiconductor integrated circuit device of claim 1 , wherein

the second standard cell further includes

a second nanosheet formed to overlap the second gate interconnect as viewed in plan and connected with the second pad, and

a second dummy nanosheet formed to overlap the second dummy gate interconnect as viewed in plan and connected with the second pad.

3. The semiconductor integrated circuit device of claim 1 , wherein

a filler cell is placed between the first and second standard cells.

4. The semiconductor integrated circuit device of claim 1 , wherein

a local interconnect is formed between the first and second dummy gate interconnects as viewed in plan, and

the local interconnect extends in a second direction vertical to the first direction.

5. A semiconductor integrated circuit device provided with first and second standard cells,

wherein

the first and second standard cells are placed adjacently in a first direction,

a first dummy gate interconnect is formed along a cell boundary between the first and second standard cells,

the first standard cell includes

a first gate interconnect formed to be adjacent to the first dummy gate interconnect in the first direction,

a first pad provided between the first dummy gate interconnect and the first gate interconnect,

a first nanosheet formed to overlap the first gate interconnect as viewed in plan and connected with the first pad, and

a first dummy nanosheet formed to overlap the first dummy gate interconnect as viewed in plan and connected with the first pad, and

the second standard cell includes

6. A method of manufacturing a semiconductor integrated circuit device provided with first and second standard cells, the first and second standard cells being placed adjacently in a first direction, the method comprising the steps of:

forming a multilayer semiconductor by alternately stacking two kinds of semiconductors different from each other on a semiconductor substrate;

forming, on the multilayer semiconductor, a first sacrifice gate structure at a position of a cell boundary between the first and second standard cells, forming a second sacrifice gate structure at a position where the first standard cell is to be formed, and forming a third sacrifice gate structure at a position where the second standard cell is to be formed;

forming first to third multilayer semiconductor units under the first to third sacrifice gate structures by removing portions of the multilayer semiconductor located between the first and second sacrifice gate structures and between the first and third sacrifice gate structures;

forming a first pad between the first and second multilayer semiconductor units by epitaxially growing the first and second multilayer semiconductor units, and forming a second pad between the first and third multilayer semiconductor units by epitaxially growing the first and third multilayer semiconductor units;

removing the first to third sacrifice gate structures; and

removing part or all of the first multilayer semiconductor unit so as to avoid electrical connection between the first pad and the second pad through the first multilayer semiconductor unit.
