Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 0:
1. A cell in an integrated circuit, the cell comprising:
a first conductor layer comprising a conductor stripe divided into multiple conductor segments and a first power stripe that is configured to connect to a first voltage source to provide a first voltage signal;
a second conductor layer overlying the first conductor layer and comprising a second power stripe and one or more conductor pillars, wherein the second power stripe is configured to connect to a second voltage source to provide a second voltage signal, wherein a first conductor segment in the multiple conductor segments is electrically connected to the second power stripe to provide the second voltage signal to the first conductor layer in the cell, and wherein each conductor pillar is electrically connected to the first power stripe; and
a third conductor layer disposed between the first and second conductor layers, the third conductor layer providing one or more contacts between the first and the second conductor layers.
