  • Patent number: 12532545
    Abstract: An integrated circuit may include a first active region and a second active region, and the first and second active regions may extend on a substrate in a first horizontal direction in parallel to each other and have different conductivity types from each other. A first gate line may extend in a second horizontal direction crossing the first horizontal direction, and may form a first transistor with the first active region. The first transistor may include a gate to which a first input signal is applied. The first gate line may include a first partial gate line that overlaps the first active region in a perpendicular direction and that has an end on a region between the first and second active regions.

  • Patent number: 10108772
    Abstract: Methods of generating an integrated circuit layout include forming a standard cell by providing a first active area adjacent to a first cell boundary line. The first active area is spaced apart from the first cell boundary line by a first distance. A second active area is provided adjacent to a second cell boundary line. The second cell boundary line opposes the first cell boundary line. The second active area is spaced apart from the second cell boundary line by a second distance. Fins are formed on the first and second active areas. The fins extend in a first direction and parallel to one another in a second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction. The first cell boundary line is parallel to the fins. The first distance and the second distance remain constant when a number of the fins on the first and second active areas is changed.
