Abstract:
1. An integrated circuit, comprising: four conductive linear-shaped structures each respectively including a gate electrode portion and an extension portion extending away from the gate electrode portion, each conductive linear-shaped structure extending lengthwise in a parallel direction, wherein each of the four conductive linear-shaped structures includes only one gate electrode portion, wherein gate electrode portions of two of the four conductive linear-shaped structures respectively form a gate electrode of a first transistor of a first transistor type and a gate electrode of a second transistor of the first transistor type, and wherein gate electrode portions of two of the four conductive linear-shaped structures respectively form a gate electrode of a first transistor of a second transistor type and a gate electrode of a second transistor of the second transistor type; four conductive contacting structures respectively connected to the extension portions of the four conductive linear-shaped structures such that each extension portion has a respective contact-to-end distance as measured in the parallel direction away from the gate electrode portion, wherein at least two of the contact-to-end distances are different; a fifth conductive linear-shaped structure including two gate electrode portions that respectively form gate electrodes of third transistors of the first and second transistor types, the third transistors of the first and second transistor types respectively positioned next to the first transistors of the first and second transistor types; and a sixth conductive linear-shaped structure including two gate electrode portions that respectively form gate electrodes of fourth transistors of the first and second transistor types, the fourth transistors of the first and second transistor types respectively positioned next to the second transistors of the first and second transistor types.
