Abstract
An IC includes an array of cells and a first set of endcap cells. The array of cells includes a first set of Mlayer power interconnects coupled to a first voltage, a first set of Mlayer interconnects, a second set of Mlayer power interconnects coupled to a second voltage source, and a second set of Mlayer interconnects. The first set of endcap cells includes first and second sets of Mlayer interconnects. The first set of Mlayer interconnects is coupled to the first set of Mlayer power interconnects and to the second set of Mlayer interconnects to provide a first set of decoupling capacitors. The second set of Mlayer interconnects is coupled to the second set of Mlayer power interconnects and to the first set of Mlayer interconnects to provide a second set of decoupling capacitors.
