    Abstract: A cell layout implemented in an integrated circuit (IC) includes a first plurality of independent power posts in a first metal layer. Each independent power post of the plurality of independent power posts provides a power connection to one device of a plurality of devices within the cell layout. A source or drain of each device of the plurality of devices is connected to one independent power post of the plurality of independent power posts. The IC further includes a plurality of independent power straps in a second metal layer that is different from the first metal layer. Each independent power strap of the plurality of independent power straps spans across and connects to multiple independent power posts of the first plurality of independent power posts.
