Standard cell architecture for gate tie-off
Abstract:
According to certain aspects of the present disclosure, a chip includes a first gate, a second gate, a first source, a first source contact disposed on the first source, a metal interconnect above the first source contact and the first gate, a first gate contact electrically coupling the first gate to the metal interconnect, and a first via electrically coupling the first source contact to the metal interconnect. The chip also includes a power rail, and a second via electrically coupling the first source contact to the power rail. The second gate is between the first source and the first gate, and the metal interconnect passes over the second gate.
