Abstract
An integrated circuit includes a first-type active-region structure and a second-type active-region structure extending in a first direction and a first terminal-conductor and a second terminal-conductor extending in a second direction. The integrated circuit also includes a first power stub and a second power stub in a first metal layer and a first power line and a second power line in a second metal layer. The integrated circuit further includes a first via connector directly connected between the first power stub and the first terminal-conductor, a second via connector directly connected between the second power stub and the second terminal-conductor, a third via connector directly connected between the first power stub and the first power line, and a fourth via connector directly connected between the second power stub and the second power line.
