    摘要: A method (of generating a layout diagram) includes: generating one or more first conductive patterns representing corresponding conductive material in the first metallization layer, long axes of the first conductive patterns extending substantially in a first direction; generating a first deep via pattern representing corresponding conductive material in each of the second via layer, the first metallization layer, and the first via layer; relative to the first direction and a second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction, aligning the first deep via pattern to overlap a corresponding component pattern representing conductive material included in an electrical path of a terminal of a corresponding transistor in the transistor layer; and configuring a size of the first deep via pattern in the first direction to be substantially less than a permissible minimum length of a conductive pattern in the first metallization layer.

    摘要: A method of generating a layout diagram of an IC cell includes defining a boundary recess in a boundary of the cell by extending a first portion of the boundary along a first gate track, extending a second portion of the boundary from the first gate track to a second gate track, the second portion being contiguous with the first portion, and extending a third portion of the boundary from the first gate track to the second gate track, the third portion being contiguous with the first portion An active region is positioned in the cell by extending the active region across a third gate track, wherein the first gate track is between the second gate track and the third gate track. The layout diagram is stored on a non-transitory computer-readable medium.
