Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 0:
1. An integrated circuit, comprising:
a plurality of conductive rails that are disposed in a first conductive layer and separated from each other in a layout view;
a plurality of signal rails disposed in a second conductive layer different from the first conductive layer;
at least one first via configured to couple a first signal rail of the plurality of signal rails to at least one of the plurality of conductive rails, wherein the first signal rail is configured to transmit a supply signal through the at least one first via and the at least one of the plurality of conductive rails to at least one element of the integrated circuit; and
at least one first conductive segment, wherein the at least one first via and the at least one first conductive segment are disposed above first conductive layer, wherein the at least one first conductive segment is coupled to the at least one of the plurality of conductive rails and is separate from the first signal rail.
