Abstract
At least one method, apparatus and system disclosed involves providing a design for manufacturing a semiconductor device. A first functional cell having a first width is placed on a circuit layout. A determination is made as to whether at least one transistor of the first functional cell is to be forward biased or reversed biased. A second functional cell having a second width is placed adjacent to the first functional cell on the circuit layout for providing a first biasing well within the total width of the first and second functional cells in response to determining that the at least one transistor is to be forward biased or reversed biased.
