    摘要: An integrated circuit includes a gated circuit configured to operate on at least a first or a second voltage, a header circuit coupled to the gated circuit, a first and second power rail on a back-side of a wafer, and a third power rail on a front-side of the wafer. The header circuit is configured to supply the first voltage to the gated circuit by the first power rail. The first power rail includes a first portion, a second portion and a third portion, the third portion being between the first portion and the second portion. The second power rail is configured to supply the second voltage to the gated circuit, and is between the first portion and the second portion. The third power rail includes a first set of conductors. Each of the first set of conductors being configured to supply a third voltage to the header circuit.

    摘要: A method includes reserving a routing track within a cell, wherein the cell comprises signal lines for connection to elements within the cell, the cell further comprises a plurality of routing tracks, the reserved routing track is one of the plurality of routing tracks, and the reserved routing track is free of the signal lines. The method further includes determining whether any power rails overlap with any of the plurality of routing tracks other than the reserved routing track. The method further includes adjusting a position of the cell in response to a determination that at least one power rail overlaps with at least one routing track of the plurality of routing tracks other than the reserved routing track.

    摘要: An integrated circuit includes a gated circuit configured to operate on a first or second voltage, a header circuit, a first power rail and a second power rail on a back-side of a wafer, a third power rail on the back-side of the wafer, and a fourth power rail on a front-side of the wafer. The first and second power rail extend in a first direction, and are separated from each other in a second direction. The third power rail is between the first and second power rail in the second direction. The third power rail is configured to supply the second voltage to the gated circuit. The fourth power rail includes a first set of conductors extending in the second direction. Each of the first set of conductors is configured to supply a third voltage to the header circuit, and is separated from each other in the first direction.

    摘要: An integrated circuit includes at least one source/drain (S/D) line extending in second direction in a cell of the integrated circuit. The integrated circuit further includes a conductive element extending in a first direction in the cell of the integrated circuit, the first direction being perpendicular to the second direction. The integrated circuit further includes a power rail extending over the conductive element, wherein the power rail includes a first power rail portion and a second power rail portion, and an inner edge of the first power rail portion is offset from an inner edge of the second power rail portion, wherein the first power rail portion has a first edge and the second power rail portion has a second edge on the same side as the first edge of the first power rail portion, and the first edge and the second edge are laterally separated.
