Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A semiconductor structure includes a first strap cell, a first read port, and a first VSS terminal. The first strap cell has a first strap cell VSS region. The first read port has a first read port VSS region, a first read port read bit line region, and a first read port poly region. The first VSS terminal is configured to electrically couple the first strap cell VSS region and the first read port VSS region.
