Abstract
An integrated circuit layout is described that uses a library cells with alternating conducting lines. One embodiment includes a first cell and a second cell, the second cell being adjacent to the first cell. The first cell has a first plurality of conductive lines, a first portion of the first plurality having line ends that are a first distance from the second cell. The second cell has a second plurality of conductive lines, the conductive lines being parallel to and aligned with the conductive lines in the first cell, a second portion of the second plurality having line ends that are a second distance from the first cell. The first distance is shorter than the second distance.
