Abstract
An integrated circuit includes a first conductor segment intersecting a first active-region structure at a source/drain region and a second conductor segment intersecting a second active-region structure at a source/drain region. The first conductor segment and the second conductor segment are separated at proximal edges by a separation distance. A distance from a first horizontal cell boundary to a proximal edge of the first conductor segment is larger than a distance from a second horizontal cell boundary to a proximal edge of the second conductor segment by a predetermined distance that is a fraction of the separation distance.
