Patent attributes
An integrated circuit (IC) includes a first, second and third semiconductor cell regions. The first cell region includes a first active region having a first dopant type. The second semiconductor cell region abuts the first cell region in a second direction, and includes second and third active regions having correspondingly a second dopant type and the first dopant type. The second active region is between the first and third active regions. The third cell region abuts the second cell region in the second direction, and includes a fourth active region having the second dopant type. The third active region is between the fourth active region and the second active region. The second semiconductor cell region has a height 2H, and the first, second and third semiconductor cell regions collectively have a height 3H.
