Abstract
An integrated circuit includes a first terminal-conductor, a second terminal-conductor, and a gate-conductor between the first terminal-conductor and the second terminal-conductor. The first terminal-conductor intersects both an active-region structure and a power rail. The second terminal-conductor intersects the active-region structure without intersecting the power rail. The gate-conductor intersects the active-region structure and is adjacent to the first terminal-conductor and the second terminal-conductor. A first width of the first terminal-conductor is larger than a second width of the second terminal-conductor by a predetermined amount.
