Abstract
In one embodiment, a bipolar cell () includes a cell boundary () that defines a cell active area (), a first array of bipolar transistors () is formed within the cell active area () and configured for a first function. The bipolar transistors () within the first array () are parallel to each other. The bipolar cell () further includes a second array of bipolar transistors () formed within the cell active area () and configured for a second function that is different than the first function. The bipolar transistors () within the second array () are parallel to each other and oriented in a different direction than the transistors () in the first array ().
