    摘要: An integrated circuit is provided. The integrated circuit includes a first cell that has a first height and is arranged in a first row which extends in a first direction; a second cell that has a second height and is arranged in a second row which extends in the first direction and is adjacent to the first row, wherein the second cell is adjacent to the first cell in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction; and a power line that extends in the first direction, is arranged on a boundary between the first cell and the second cell, and is configured to supply power to the first cell and the second cell. The first cell overlaps a first width of the power line along the second direction and the second cell overlaps a second width of the power line along the second direction, and the first width and the second width are different from each other.

    摘要: An integrated circuit including a first standard cell placed continuously on a row having a first height and a row having a second height different from the first height. The integrated circuit also includes a second standard cell continuously placed on a row having the first height and a row having the second height, a plurality of first power lines formed on boundaries of the plurality of rows and configured to supply a first supply voltage to the standard cells, and a plurality of second power lines formed on boundaries of the plurality of rows and configured to supply a second supply voltage to the standard cells. A placement sequence of the power lines supplying a voltage to the first standard cell being different from a placement sequence of the power lines supplying a voltage to the second standard cell.

    摘要: Integrated circuits including abutted blocks and methods of designing layouts of the integrated circuits are disclosed. The integrated circuit includes a first block having a first function cell array therein, which is at least partially surrounded by a first plurality of finishing cells, and a second block extending adjacent the first block. The second block includes a second function cell array therein, which is at least partially surrounded by a second plurality of finishing cells. The first plurality of finishing cells include: (i) a first finishing cell placed at a boundary of the integrated circuit, and (ii) a second finishing cell different from the first finishing cell, which is placed at a boundary between the first block and the second block.
