Abstract
An integrated circuit layout includes a P-type active region, an N-type active region, a first metal connection, a second metal connection and a plurality of trunks. The plurality of trunks is formed substantially side-by-side, and in parallel with each other. The first metal connection is substantially disposed over the P-type active region, and is electrically connected with drain regions of PMOS transistors in the P-type active region. The second metal connection is substantially disposed over the N-type active region, and is electrically connected with drain regions of NMOS transistors in the N-type active region. The plurality of trunks is electrically connected with and is substantially perpendicular to the first metal connection and the second metal connection. A first trunk of the plurality of trunks has a width wider than a width of other trunks of the plurality of trunks and is arranged to be located between two groups of trunks.
