    摘要: An integrated circuit includes a first, second and third power rail, and a header circuit coupled to a gated circuit. The gated circuit is configured to operate on a first or second voltage. The first and second power rail are on a back-side of a wafer, and extend in a first direction. The header circuit is configured to supply the first voltage to the gated circuit by the first power rail. The second power rail is separated from the first power rail in a second direction. The second power rail is configured to supply the second voltage to the gated circuit. The third power rail is on a front-side of the wafer and includes a first set of conductors extending in the second direction, and separated in the first direction. Each of the first set of conductors is configured to supply a third voltage to the header circuit.

    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: An integrated circuit includes a gated circuit configured to operate on at least a first or a second voltage, a header circuit coupled to the gated circuit, a first and second power rail on a back-side of a wafer, and a third power rail on a front-side of the wafer. The header circuit is configured to supply the first voltage to the gated circuit by the first power rail. The first power rail includes a first portion, a second portion and a third portion, the third portion being between the first portion and the second portion. The second power rail is configured to supply the second voltage to the gated circuit, and is between the first portion and the second portion. The third power rail includes a first set of conductors. Each of the first set of conductors being configured to supply a third voltage to the header circuit.

    摘要: An IC layout diagram generation system includes a processor and a non-transitory, computer readable storage medium including computer program code for one or more programs. The non-transitory, computer readable storage medium and the computer program code are configured to, with the processor, cause the system to align a border segment of a cell at a predetermined location relative to a plurality of second metal layer tracks, position the cell relative to a first metal layer cut region alignment pattern based on the plurality of second metal layer tracks, overlap the cell with a first metal layer cut region based on the first metal layer cut region alignment pattern, and generate an IC layout diagram of an IC device based on the cell and the first metal layer cut region.
