Abstract
An integrated circuit (IC) may include a plurality of standard cells. At least one standard cell of the plurality of standard cells may include a power rail configured to supply power to the at least one standard cell, the power rail extending in a first direction, a cell area including at least one transistor configured to determine a function of the at least one standard cell, a first dummy area and a second dummy area respectively adjacent to two sides of the cell area in the first direction, and an active area extending in the first direction across the cell area, the first dummy area, and the second dummy area. A region of the active area, which is included in the first dummy area or the second dummy area, is electrically connected to the power rail.
