Abstract
An integrated circuit layout includes a first and a second standard cells abutting along a boundary line. The boundary line and a first active region of the first standard cell include a distance D1. A first gate line on the first active region protrudes from the first active region by a length L1. The boundary line and a second active region of the second standard cell include a distance D2. A second gate line on the second active region protrudes from the second active region by a length L2. Two first dummy gate lines and two second dummy gate lines are disposed at two sides of the first active region and the second active region and are away from the boundary line by a distance S. The lengths L1 and L2, the distances S, D1 and D2 have the relationships: L1≤D1−S, L2≤D2−S, and D1≠D2.
