    Abstract: A method of fabricating an integrated circuit includes fabricating a set of transistors in a front-side of a substrate, fabricating a first set of vias in a back-side of the substrate, depositing a first set of conductive structures on the back-side on a first level, depositing a second set of conductive structures on the back-side on a second level thereby forming a set of power rails, fabricating a second set of vias in the back-side, and depositing a third set of conductive structures on the back-side on a third level. The first set of vias is electrically coupled to the set of transistors. The second set of vias is electrically coupled to the first and third set of conductive structures. A first structure of the first set of conductive structures is electrically coupled to a first via of the first set of vias.

    Abstract: Various memory cell structures and power routings for one or more cells in an integrated circuit are disclosed. In one embodiment, different metal layers are used for power stripes that are operable to connect to voltage sources to supply different voltage signals, which allows some or all of the power stripes to have a larger width. Additionally or alternatively, fewer metal stripes are used for signals in a metal layer to allow the power stripe in that metal layer to have a larger width. The larger width(s) in turn increases the total area of the power stripe(s) to reduce the IR drop across the power stripe. The various power routings include connecting metal pillars in one metal layer to a power stripe in another metal layer, and extending a metal stripe in one metal layer to provide additional connections to a power stripe in another metal layer.

    Abstract: A method of generating an integrated circuit layout diagram includes arranging first cells having a first cell height in a first row and arranging second cells having a second cell height less than the first cell height in a second row abutting the first row. The first row and the second row extend along a first direction and are laid out relative to a routing grid including first routing tracks along the first direction and second routing tracks along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. First cell pins are placed within each first cell extending along second routing tracks. Second cell pins are placed over selected via placement points in each second cell. At least one second cell pin extends along a corresponding second routing track across a boundary of a corresponding second cell and into a corresponding first cell abutting the corresponding second cell.
