Abstract

See full text

Cell layouts for a memory cell, such as for ternary content addressable memory (TCAM), are disclosed. Some cell layouts include a well strap structure. A cell layout may include a p-doped well, an n-doped well, and a p-doped well sequentially along a layout. Another cell layout may include a p-doped well, an n-doped well, a p-doped well, and an n-doped well sequentially along a layout. A well strap structure may be in a p-doped well or an n-doped well. Various metallization layers having a mesh may be used with a memory cell layout. In some disclosed examples, a first metallization layer may have one, two, or four ground traces, and a second metallization layer may have two ground traces. These various ground traces may be electrically coupled together to form a mesh.
