Patent attributes
A non-transitory computer-readable medium contains thereon a cell library. The cell library includes a plurality of cells configured to be placed in a layout diagram of an integrated circuit (IC). Each cell among the plurality of cells includes a first active region inside a boundary of the cell. The first active region extends along a first direction. At least one gate region is inside the boundary. The at least one gate region extends across the first active region along a second direction transverse to the first direction. A first conductive region overlaps the first active region and a first edge of the boundary. The first conductive region is configured to form an electrical connection to the first active region. The plurality of cells includes at least one cell a width of which in the first direction is equal to one gate region pitch between adjacent gate regions of the IC.
