Abstract:
1. A unit cell for an integrated circuit, comprising: a first conductive type active region, which extends in a first direction and has first and second ends; a second conductive type active region, which extends in the first direction and has first and second ends, the first end of the second conductive type active region opposing the second end of the first conductive type active region, the first and second conductive type active regions have respective different first and second conductivity types; a conductive pattern extending in the first direction across the first conductive type active region and the second conductive type active region; a first contact region connected to a well region and that is arranged adjacent to the first end of the first conductive type active region in the first direction; and a second contact region connected to a substrate of the unit cell and that is arranged adjacent to the second end of the second conductive type active region in the first direction, wherein the conductive pattern includes a terminal which is arranged between the second end of the first conductive type active region and the first end of the second conductive type active region, and wherein there is no contact region between the first contact region and the first end of the first conductive type active region, and between the second contact region and the second end of the second conductive type active region.
