Abstract
At least one method, apparatus and system disclosed involves providing a functional cell for a circuit layout for an integrated circuit device. A determination as to a first location for a two-dimensional portion of a first power rail in a functional cell is made. A first portion of the first power rail is formed in a first direction. A second portion of the first power rail is formed in a second direction in the first location for the two-dimensional portion.
