  • Publication number: 20230246017
    Abstract: Semiconductor devices may include standard cells arranged in a first direction and a second direction intersecting the first direction. Both the first and second directions may be parallel to an upper surface of the substrate. Each of the standard cells may include semiconductor elements. The semiconductor device may also include filler cells between two standard cells, and each of the filler cells may include a filler active region and a filler contact connected to the filler active region and may extend in the first direction. The semiconductor device may further include a lower wiring pattern electrically connected to at least one of the semiconductor elements and may extend into at least one of the filler cells in the second direction, and the filler contacts may include wiring filler contacts lower than the lower wiring pattern and connected to at least one of the lower wiring pattern.

  • Patent number: 11410988
    Abstract: An integrated circuit includes a standard cell continuously arranged on a first row and on a second row, the first row and second row extending parallel with each other in a first direction, the first row and the second row adjacent to each other in a second direction crossing the first direction, a first cell separator contacting a first row boundary of the standard cell on the first row and extending in the second direction, and a second cell separator contacting a second row boundary of the standard cell on the second row and extending in the second direction. The first cell separator and the second cell separator are discontinuous on a first row to second row boundary of the first row and the second row.
