摘要： An integrated circuit (IC) may include a plurality of functional blocks, and each functional block of the plurality of functional blocks may include hardware circuits, wherein the plurality of functional blocks may include a first functional block. In addition, the first functional block may include a first macro circuit that is positioned within a first sub-region of the first functional block, wherein among multiple sides of the first sub-region, a first side of the first sub-region is closest to a boundary of the first functional block. Additionally, a first intermediate sub-region of the first functional block is positioned between the first side of the first sub-region and the boundary of the first functional block, and there is no tap cell in the first intermediate sub-region of the first functional block.
