Abstract
The disclosed circuit includes a first and a second active region (AR) spaced a spacing S along a direction in a first standard cell (SC) that spans Dalong the direction between a first and a second cell edge (CE). Each of the first and second ARs spans a first width Walong the direction; a third and a fourth AR spaced S in a second SC that spans a second dimension Dalong the direction between a third and a fourth CE; and gate stacks extend from the fourth CE of the second SC to the first CE of the first SC, wherein D<D; each of the third and fourth ARs spans a second width Walong the direction; W<W; and the third CE is aligned with and contacts the second CE. The first and second ARs have a structure different from the third and fourth ARs.
