    摘要: A cell architecture for vertical field-effect transistors (VFETs) is provided. The cell architecture includes: top source/drain (S/D) contact structure having a square shape in a plan view; and horizontal metal patterns formed on the top S/D contact structures and extended in an X-direction to be connected to a vertical pattern through with an output signal of a logic circuit formed by the VFETs. The cell architecture further includes a gate contact structure formed on a gate connection pattern connecting gates of the VFETs, wherein a super via is formed on the gate contact structure to receive an input signal of the logic circuit.
