An integrated circuit implementing a standard cell with a portion of the metal layer extending from the cell boundary.

摘要

A computer-implemented method of manufacturing an integrated circuit structure includes selecting a first cell [200] from a standard cell library, the first cell having cell boundaries [212] and a first metal track [222] in a metal layer. in which the metal portion extends along the direction and terminates at a specified distance [228] beyond the first edge of the cell boundary. The method further includes placing the first cell in a first location in the physical layout for the integrated circuit structure.
