    Abstract: Asymmetric gated fin field effect transistor (FET) (finFET) diodes are disclosed. In one aspect, an asymmetric gated finFET diode employs a substrate that includes a well region of a first-type and a fin disposed in a direction. A first source/drain region is employed that includes a first-type doped material disposed in the fin having a first length in the direction. A second source/drain region having a second length in the direction larger than the first length is employed that includes a second-type doped material disposed in the fin. A gate region is disposed between the first source/drain region and the second source/drain region and has a third length in the direction that is larger than the first length and larger than the second length. The wider gate region increases a length of a depletion region of the asymmetric gated finFET diode, which reduces current leakage while avoiding increase in area.
