Abstract
An integrated circuit includes a semiconductor substrate, devices, first tap regions, and second tap regions. The devices are over the semiconductor substrate. The first tap regions are over the semiconductor substrate along a first direction. The second tap regions are over the semiconductor substrate along the first direction. A first pitch between adjacent two of the first tap regions in the first direction is greater than a second pitch between adjacent two of the second tap regions in the first direction.
