Abstract: An integrated circuit structure includes a set of rails, a first and second set of conductive structures and a first set of vias. The set of rails extends in a first direction and is located at a first level. Each rail of the set of rails is separated from one another in a second direction. The first set of conductive structures extends in the second direction, overlaps the set of rails and is located at a second level. The first set of vias is between the set of rails and the first set of conductive structures. Each of the first set of vias is located where each of the first set of conductive structures overlaps each of the set of rails. The first set of vias couple the first set of conductive structures to the set of rails. The second set of conductive structures is between the set of rails.

Abstract: An integrated circuit designing system includes a non-transitory storage medium and a hardware processor. The non-transitory storage medium is encoded with a layout of a standard cell corresponding to a predetermined manufacturing process. The predetermined manufacturing process has a nominal minimum pitch, along a predetermined direction, of metal lines. The layout of the standard cell has a cell height along the predetermined direction, and the cell height is a non-integral multiple of the nominal minimum pitch. The hardware processor communicatively coupled with the non-transitory storage medium and configured to execute a set of instructions for generating an integrated circuit layout based on the layout of the standard cell and the nominal minimum pitch.

Abstract: A post placement abutment treatment for cell row design is provided. In an embodiment a first cell and a second cell are placed in a first cell row and a third cell and a fourth cell are placed into a second cell row. After placement vias connecting power and ground rails to the underlying structures are analyzed to determine if any can be merged or else removed completely. By merging and removing the closely placed vias, the physical limitations of photolithography may be by-passed, allowing for smaller structures to be formed.
