Abstract
The disclosure relates to an integrated circuit comprising: a first voltage terminal; a second voltage terminal; and a plurality of logic cells, comprising one or more field effect transistors having a p-type channel and one or more field effect transistors having an n-type channel. The plurality of logic cells comprises a regular subset of cells and a spare subset of cells. Electrical connectors are arranged to: connect the gates of the regular subset of cells in order to provide a functional logic arrangement; connect the gates of the one or more field effect transistors having a p-type channel of the spare subset of cells to the first voltage terminal; and connect the gates of the one or more field effect transistors having an n-type channel of the spare subset of cells to the second voltage terminal.
