Abstract

See full text

An integrated circuit includes an intellectual property (IP) block including a plurality of standard cells. A first power gating cell supplies power to the IP block via a first power rail extending in a first horizontal direction. A first conductive line extends in a second horizontal direction perpendicular to the first horizontal direction in a first metal layer. A second power gating cell is arranged adjacent to the first power gating cell in the second horizontal direction to supply power to the IP block via a second power rail extending in the first horizontal direction. A second conductive line extends in the second horizontal direction in the first metal layer. The first conductive line is coupled with the second conductive line in the second horizontal direction.
