Abstract
A multi-bit standard cell embodied on a non-transitory computer-readable medium includes: a first logic cell with a first logic cell height measured from a first lower boundary to a first upper boundary of the first logic cell; and a second logic cell with a second logic cell height measured from a second lower boundary to a second upper boundary of the second logic cell, the second logic cell height different from the first logic cell height, and the second upper boundary attached to the first lower boundary. The first logic cell is arranged to perform a first logical function, the second logic cell is arranged to perform a second logical function, and the first logical function is the same as the second logical function.
