Claim 8:
9. An integrated circuit comprising:
a filler cell comprising a first active region; and
a standard cell comprising:
a second active region of a same type as that of the first active region, the second active region being adjacent to the first active region in a first direction; and
a first tapering portion of the same type as that of the first active region, the first tapering portion comprising a first contact surface contacting the first active region, a second contact surface contacting the second active region, and an inclination surface connecting the first contact surface to the second contact surface and having an inclination,

wherein the first active region has a first width in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction,
wherein the second active region has a second width in the second direction, the second width being less than the first width, and
wherein the filler cell is a non-logic cell.
