STANDARD CELL ARCHITECTURE WITH POWER TRACKS COMPLETELY INSIDE A CELL

摘要

An integrated circuit structure includes a cell on a metal level, the cell defined by a cell boundary (1802). A plurality of substantially parallel interconnect lines (1804) are inside the cell boundary. A first power track (1806A) and a second power track (1806B) are both dedicated to power and are located completely inside the cell boundary without any power tracks along the cell boundary on the metal level.
