Abstract
A method of generating an integrated circuit (IC) layout diagram includes overlapping an active region with a plurality of gate regions, thereby defining a program transistor and a read transistor of a one-time-programmable (OTP) bit, overlapping a through via region with a gate region of the plurality of gate regions or with the active region, and overlapping the through via region with a metal region of a back-side metal layer.
