Abstract
An integrated circuit includes: a memory cell block including a plurality of bitcells; and an input and output (I/O) block including a plurality of gate-all-around (GAA) transistors connected to the bitcells, wherein the I/O block includes a plurality of active regions disposed separately from one another in a first direction, each of which extends in a second direction that is vertical to the first direction, and in which the GAA transistors are formed, a plurality of power rails disposed separately from one another in the first direction, and configured to provide power to the GAA transistors, and a plurality of signal lines disposed between the power rails, and configured to provide signals to the GAA transistors, a first number of bitcells among the bitcells are connected to the GAA transistors formed in a second number of active regions among the active regions, and the second number is twice the first number.
