Abstract:
A post placement abutment treatment for cell row design is provided. In an embodiment a first cell and a second cell are placed in a first cell row and a third cell and a fourth cell are placed into a second cell row. After placement vias connecting power and ground rails to the underlying structures are analyzed to determine if any can be merged or else removed completely. By merging and removing the closely placed vias, the physical limitations of photolithography may be by-passed, allowing for smaller structures to be formed.

Claim (Index 6):
The method of  claim 1 , wherein a region at an intersection of the first cell, the second cell, the third cell, and the fourth cell comprises:\n a first drain region of the first cell; a first source region of the second cell; a second source region of the third cell; and a second drain region of the fourth cell.
