    Abstract: A semiconductor device is provided. The semiconductor device includes first and second logic cells adjacent to each other on a substrate, and a mixed separation structure extending in a first direction between the first and second logic cells. Each logic cell includes first and second active fins that protrude from the substrate, the first and second active fins extending in a second direction intersecting the first direction and being spaced apart from each other in the first direction, and gate electrodes extending in the first direction and spanning the first and second active fins, and having a gate pitch. The mixed separation structure includes a first separation structure separating the first active fin of the first logic cell from the first active fin of the second logic cell; and a second separation structure on the first separation structure. A width of the first separation structure is greater than the gate pitch.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a semiconductor device comprising a mixed height cell on a substrate, and a first power line and a second power line that run across the mixed height cell. First to third line tracks are defined between the first power line and the second power line. A fourth line track is defined adjacent to the second power line. The second power line is between the third line track and the fourth line track. The mixed height cell includes a plurality of lower lines aligned with the first to fourth line tracks. A cell height of the mixed height cell is about 1.25 times to about 1.5 times a distance between a first point of the first power line and a corresponding second point of the second power line.

    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes first power lines extending on a substrate in a first direction and spaced apart from each other in a second direction, back side power structures on a lower surface of the substrate, standard cells each including an active pattern, a gate pattern intersecting the active pattern, and contacts, power tap cells between at least some of the standard cells and each including vertical power vias, and second power lines electrically connecting at least some of the first power lines to each other. A first portion of the second power lines may extend onto the power tap cells and a second portion of the second power lines that is different from the first portion may extend onto the standard cells. The power tap cells may be arranged in every three or more rows of the standard cells in the second direction in a zigzag pattern.
