摘要: A method includes reserving a routing track within a cell, the cell includes signal lines for connection to elements within the cell, the cell further includes a plurality of routing tracks, the reserved routing track is one of the plurality of routing tracks, and the reserved routing track is free of the signal lines. The method includes placing the cell in a chip-level layout, wherein the chip-level layout includes a plurality of power rails. The method includes determining whether any of the plurality of power rails overlaps with any of the plurality of routing tracks other than the reserved routing track. The method includes adjusting a position of the cell in the chip-level layout in response to a determination that at least one power rail of the plurality of power rails overlaps with at least one routing track of the plurality of routing tracks other than the reserved routing track.

摘要: In at least one cell region, a semiconductor device includes fin patterns and at least one overlying gate structure. The fin patterns (dummy and active) are substantially parallel to a first direction. Each gate structure is substantially parallel to a second direction (which is substantially perpendicular to the first direction). First and second active fin patterns have corresponding first and second conductivity types. Each cell region, relative to the second direction, includes: a first active region which includes a sequence of three or more consecutive first active fin patterns located in a central portion of the cell region; a second active region which includes one or more second active fin patterns located between the first active region and a first edge of the cell region; and a third active region which includes one or more second active fin patterns located between the first active region and a second edge of the cell region.
