An integrated circuit having a vertical transistor includes first through fourth gate lines extending in a first direction and sequentially arranged in parallel with each other, a first top active region over the first through third gate lines and insulated from the second gate line, and a second top active region. The first top active region forms first and third transistors with the first and third gate lines respectively. The second top active region is over the second through fourth gate lines and insulated from the third gate line. The second top active region forms second and fourth transistors with the second and fourth gate lines respectively.
