Claim 10:
11. The integrated circuit of claim 7, further comprising:
a third conductive segment disposed over an active area below the first conductive layer and extending along a second direction, for forming a first transistor, wherein the third conductive segment is overlapped with a first conductive rail of the second plurality of conductive rails in a layout view; and
a fourth conductive segment disposed over the active area and extending along the second direction, for forming a second transistor that couples to the first transistor, wherein the fourth conductive segment is overlapped with a second conductive rail of the second plurality of conductive rails in a layout view,
wherein the first conductive rail and the second conductive rail are next to each other, and the first conductive rail, the second conductive rail, and the at least one first conductive segment are partially overlapped together in a layout view.
