  • Publication number: 20150084097
    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a substrate on which a plurality of logic cells are provided, and a plurality of active portions provided on the substrate and extending in a first direction. Contacts and gate structures extend in a second direction intersecting the first direction and are alternately arranged. A common conductive line extends along a boundary region of the plurality of logic cells in the first direction. At least one of the contacts is electrically connected to the common conductive line through a via therebetween, and each of the contacts intersects a plurality of the active portions. End portions of the contacts are aligned with each other along the first direction.

  • Patent number: 8963210
    Abstract: An integrated circuit (IC) cell may include first and second semiconductor regions, and parallel electrically conductive lines extending above the first and second semiconductor regions. The IC cell may further include electrically conductive line contacts electrically connected to the parallel electrically conductive lines, and may include at least one first line contact between the first semiconductor region and a corresponding end of the IC cell, and at least one second line contact between the first semiconductor region and the second semiconductor region. Adjacent ones of the electrically conductive lines may be respectively coupled to one of the at least one first line contact and to one of the at least one second line contact.
