Abstract:
1. A layout design stored on a non-transitory computer-readable medium, the layout design comprising: a first active area layout pattern associated with forming a first active area structure of a standard cell, an isolation region being outside at least the first active area layout pattern; a first polysilicon layout pattern associated with forming a first polysilicon structure of the standard cell, the first polysilicon layout pattern being configured to overlap the first active area layout pattern; a first metal layout pattern associated with forming a first metal structure of the standard cell, the first metal layout pattern comprising a first pattern portion on a first side of the first polysilicon layout pattern and a second pattern portion on a second side of the first polysilicon layout pattern opposite the first side of the first polysilicon pattern, the first metal layout pattern being configured to overlap the first active area layout pattern; and a second metal layout pattern associated with forming a second metal structure of the standard cell, the second metal layout pattern comprising a continuous portion configured to overlap the first polysilicon layout pattern, the first pattern portion of the first active layout pattern and the second pattern portion of the first metal layout pattern, wherein the layout design is used to manufacture the standard cell.
