Integrated circuit and semiconductor device

Abstract

An embodiment includes an integrated circuit comprising a standard cell, the standard cell comprising: first and second active regions having different conductivity types and extending in a first direction; first, second, and third conductive lines extending over the first and second active regions in a second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction, and disposed parallel to each other; and a cutting layer extending in the first direction between the first and second active regions and separating the first conductive line into a first upper conductive line and a first lower conductive line, the second conductive line into a second upper conductive line and a second lower conductive line, and the third conductive line into a third upper conductive line and a third lower conductive line; wherein: the first upper conductive line and the third lower conductive line are electrically connected together; and the second upper conductive line and the second lower conductive line are electrically connected together.
