Abstract
An integrated circuit includes a first horizontal conductor and a second horizontal conductor. The integrated circuit includes a first diode between a first first-type block and a first second-type block, a second diode between a second first-type block and a second second-type block, and a third diode between a third first-type block and a third second-type block. The first first-type block and the first second-type block are aligned along a first column. The second first-type block and the second second-type block are aligned along a second column. The third first-type block and the third second-type block are aligned along a third column. The second first-type block is connected to the first second-type block through the second horizontal conductor. The third first-type block is conductively connected to the second second-type block through the first horizontal conductor.
