Abstract
A semiconductor device includes a first power rail, a second power rail, and a first cell. The first cell has a first first-type active region and a first second-type active region, and a first cell height of the first cell is defined as a pitch between the first power rail and the second power rail. The semiconductor device further includes a second cell having a second first-type active region and a second second-type active region, wherein the second first-type active region extends in a second row and a third row on a first side of the first row and has a first width in the column direction greater than a second width of the first first-type active region in the column direction. The semiconductor device also includes a third cell having a first portion and a second portion arranged in the second row and a fourth row, respectively.
