Abstract

A method of generating an IC layout diagram includes positioning a resistor unit cell in the IC layout diagram, a resistor of the resistor unit cell including a source/drain metal region, positioning a MOS unit cell in the IC layout diagram, overlapping the resistor unit cell with a first via region, overlapping the MOS unit cell with a second via region, overlapping the first and second via regions with a continuous conductive region, and storing the IC layout diagram in a storage device.
