Abstract
An integrated circuit includes a first transistor, a second transistor, a third transistor, and a fourth transistor. The first transistor includes a first active area extending in a first direction in a first layer. The second transistor includes a second active area that is disposed in a second layer below the first layer and overlaps the first active area. The third transistor includes at least two third active areas extending in the first direction in the first layer. In the first direction, a boundary line of one of the at least two third active areas is aligned with boundary lines of the first and second active areas. The fourth transistor includes at least two fourth active areas that are disposed in the second layer and overlap the at least two third active areas.
