Abstract
An integrated circuit includes a set of transistors including a set of active regions, a set of power rails, a first set of conductors and a first conductor. The set of active regions extends in a first direction, and is on a first level. The set of power rails extends in the first direction and is on a second level. The set of power rails has a first width. The first set of conductors extends in the first direction, is on the second level, and overlaps the set of active regions. The first set of conductors has a second width. The first conductor extends in the first direction, is on the second level and is between the first set of conductors. The first conductor has the first width, electrically couples a first transistor of the set of transistors to a second transistor of the set of transistors.
