With the aforementioned restrictions, we have been able to
confine these patterns into a fixed size library.
We have found that to manufacture a completely working
memory of 5.995 by 1.244mm size in 14nm technology
with controllers can be achieved with 6725 FEOL and MOL
combined unique patterns, or 1991 FEOL-only patterns of 120
by 120nm patterns. These patterns are allowed to overlap with
each other, hence this number is not the minimum that is
possible.
