Abstract
A semiconductor device comprising a plurality of cells arranged in an array is disclosed. Each cell comprises: at least one active region arranged along a first direction; and at least five spaced apart conductive regions arranged along a second direction disposed over the active regions, wherein the first through fifth conductive regions comprise one or more conductors, wherein the one or more conductors have a dimension along the first direction. The dimension along the first direction is larger for at least one conductor in the first or fifth conductive regions than the dimension along the first direction for a conductor in the third conductive region. The pitch between conductors in the second and the fourth conductive region and the pitch between a conductor in the second or fourth conductive region and a conductor in a next closest conductive region that is not the second or fourth conductive region are different.
