Abstract: A method of making an integrated circuit includes steps of selecting a first cell and a second cell for an integrated circuit layout from a cell library in an electronic design automation (EDA) system, the first and second cells each having a cell active area, a cell gate electrode, at least one fin of a first set of fins, and a cell border region, each cell also having the active area at an exposed side, and placing the first exposed side against the second exposed side at a cell border. The method also includes operations of aligning at least one fin of the first set of fins with at least one fin of the second set of fins across a cell border.

Abstract: A joystick control device having cursor correcting function, in which the conventional adjustable resistor is replaced by a photoelectric element for detecting the movement of the joystick, thereby eliminates the ill effects caused by mechanical attrition of resistor. Additionally, the parameter drifts caused by IC manufacturing processes are corrected using shift correction of joystick; therefore, every individual mass-produced IC shows similar good behavior.

Abstract: A current input interface circuit of a mouse circuit includes a first current mirror circuit connected to a second current mirror circuit permitting the mouse signal inputted thereto by the current parameter instead of voltage parameter thus constituting a current comparator.
