摘要: An integrated circuit includes a first power rail extending in a first direction, and configured to supply a first supply voltage, and a first region next to the first power rail. The first region includes a first conductive structure extending in the first direction, a first set of conductive structures extending in a second direction, and a first set of vias between the first set of conductive structures and the first conductive structure. The first set of conductive structures overlaps the first conductive structure and the first power rail, and is located on a second level. Each conductive structure of the first set of conductive structures is separated from each other in the first direction. Each via of the first set of vias is located where the first set of conductive structures overlaps the first conductive structure and couples the first set of conductive structures to the first conductive structure.

摘要: A method includes: identifying ad hoc groups of elementary standard cells recurrent in a layout diagram, selecting one of the recurrent ad hoc groups (selected group) such that: the elementary standard cells in the selected group have connections representing a corresponding logic circuit; each elementary standard cell representing a logic gate; each ad hoc group has a number of transistors and a first number of logic gates; and the selected group providing a logical function. The method includes generating one or more macro standard cells such that: each macro standard cell has a number of transistors which is smaller than the number of transistors of the corresponding ad hoc group; or each macro standard cell has a second number of logic gates different than the first number of logic gates of the corresponding ad hoc group. The method also includes adding macro standard cells to the set of standard cells.

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 direction, extending a second portion of the boundary away from the first portion in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, the second portion being contiguous with the first portion, and extending a third portion of the boundary away from the first portion in the second direction, the third portion being contiguous with the first portion. An active region is positioned in the cell by extending the active region away from the first portion in a third direction opposite to the second direction. The layout diagram is stored on a non-transitory computer-readable medium.
