Abstract
An integrated circuit includes: a first well of a first conductivity type; a second well of a second conductivity type coming into contact with the first well at a well boundary extending in a gate length direction; a first transistor having a first active region of the second conductivity type provided in the first well; and a second transistor which has a second active region of the second conductivity type provided in the first well and differing from the first active region in length in a gate width direction. The center location of the first active region in the gate width direction is aligned with the center location of the second active region in the gate width direction with reference to the well boundary.
