Abstract: A method (of generating a layout diagram, the layout diagram being stored on a non-transitory computer-readable medium) includes: selecting first and second standard cells from a standard-cell-library; the first and second standard cells having corresponding first and second heights that are different from each other; stacking the first standard cell on the second standard cell to form a third cell; and including the third cell in a layout diagram. At least one aspect of the method is executed by a processor of a computer.

Abstract: The present disclosure, in some embodiments, relates to an integrated circuit. The integrated circuit includes first and second source/drain regions on or within a substrate. A first gate is arranged over the substrate between the first source/drain region and the second source/drain region. A first middle-end-of-the-line (MEOL) structure is arranged over the second source/drain region and a second MEOL structure is arranged over a third source/drain region. A conductive structure contacts the first MEOL structure and the second MEOL structure. A second gate is separated from the first gate by the second source/drain region. The conductive structure vertically and physically contacts a top surface of the second gate that is coupled to outermost sidewalls of the second gate. A plurality of conductive contacts are configured to electrically couple an interconnect wire and the first MEOL structure along one or more conductive paths extending through the conductive structure.

Abstract: A computer has a monitor and a processor. An interface system has a plurality of target data sets, at least one relation data set, a display program, a selection program, and an application program. In the plurality of target data sets, each target data set has an ID (identification) of a target. In the relation data sets, each relation data set has two IDs of two corresponding targets and a relation attribute of the two targets. The display program is used to display the plurality of target data sets and the relation data sets on the monitor in a relation graph format. Each target data set is displayed as an icon in the relation graph, and each relation data set is displayed in a linking graph format between the two icons corresponding to the two targets of the relation data set. The selection program is provided for a user to select the icons displayed on the monitor. The application program can be activated by the user to provide functionality such as distribution of e-mails to the IDs of selected icons.
