Abstract: An integrated circuit (IC) device includes first to fourth circuits configured to perform corresponding functions. The first to fourth circuits correspondingly include first to fourth active regions extending along a first direction, and further include a plurality of gate regions extending along a second direction transverse to the first direction. Adjacent gate regions among the plurality of gate regions are spaced from each other along the first direction by one gate region pitch. The first active region and the second active region correspondingly have a first source/drain region and a second source/drain region spaced from each other, along the first direction, by one gate region pitch. The first source/drain region is a drain region. The plurality of gate regions includes a dummy gate region between the first source/drain region and the second source/drain region. The third active region and the fourth active region share a common source region.
