    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a hybrid standard cell that includes a semiconductor substrate, a first power rail, a second power rail, a high-speed transistor region and a low-power transistor region. The first power rail and the second power rail are formed above the semiconductor substrate and extend in a first direction and arranged sequentially in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The high-speed transistor region and the low-power transistor region are adjacent to each other in the first direction and arranged in a row region between the first power rail and the second power rail. An operation speed of a high-speed transistor formed in the high-speed transistor region is higher than an operation speed of a low-power transistor formed in the low-power transistor region, and a power consumption of the high-speed transistor is lower than a power consumption of the high-speed transistor.

    Abstract: A multi-bit flip-flop includes a first bit flip-flop and a second bit flip-flop. The first bit flip-flop includes an input multiplexer that receives a first and second data bits, and outputs one of the first and second data bits as a third data bit; a first transmission circuit; a first latch; a second transmission circuit; and a second latch that outputs a first output data bit. The second bit flip-flop includes an input multiplexer that receives a fourth data bit and the first output data bit, and outputs one of the fourth data bit and the first output data bit as a fifth data bit; a first transmission circuit, a first latch, a second transmission circuit, and a second latch that outputs a second output data bit. The first output data bit is provided from the first bit flip-flop to the second bit flip-flop along an external wire.
