Abstract: A layout includes a first and a second standard cells abutting along a boundary line. The first cell includes first fins. An edge of the first fins closest to and away from the boundary line by a distance D1. A first gate line over-crossing the first fins protrudes from the edge by a length L1. The second cell includes second fins. An edge of the second fins closest to and away from the boundary line by a distance D2. A second gate line over-crossing the second fins protrudes from the edge by a length L2. Two first dummy gate lines at two sides of the first fins and two second dummy lines at two sides of the second fins are respectively away from the boundary line by a distance S. The lengths L1 and L2, the distances S, D1 and D2 have the relationships: L1≤D1−S, L2≤D2−S, and D1≠D2.

Abstract: An integrated circuit layout includes a first standard cell and a second standard cell. The first standard cell includes first gate lines arranged along a first direction and extending along a second direction. The second standard cell abuts to one side of the first standard cell along the second direction and includes second gate lines arranged along the first direction and extending along the second direction. A first gate line width of the first gate lines and a second gate line width of the second gate lines are different. A first cell width of the first standard cell and a second cell width of the second standard cell are integral multiples of a default gate line pitch of the first gate lines and the second gate lines. At least some of the second gate lines and at least some of the first gate lines are aligned along the second direction.

Abstract: A speed-up charge pump includes a first charge pump for receiving an up signal and a down signal in digital form to produce a first voltage control signal at an output node. Further, at least one speed-up phase detector includes a first circuit path to receive the up signal and delay the up signal by a predetermined delay as a delay up signal and operate the up signal and the delay up signal by AND logic into an auxiliary up signal; and a second circuit path to receive the down signal and delay the down signal by the predetermined delay as a delay down signal and operate the down signal and the delay down signal by AND logic into an auxiliary down signal. A second charge pump is respectively receiving the auxiliary up and down signals to produce a second voltage control signal also at the output node.

Abstract: A method for forming an integrated circuit layout including at least two standard cells having different cell heights is disclosed. The standard cells respectively have a well boundary to divide a PMOS region and an NMOS region. The standard cells are abutted side by side along their side edges in a way that the well boundaries of the cells are aligned along the row direction. The power rail and the ground rail of one of the standard cells are extended in width or length to connect to the power rail and the ground rail of the other one of the standard cells.
