Abstract

An integrated circuit including a first standard cell including, first transistors, the first transistors being first unfolded transistors, a first metal pin, a second metal pin, and a third metal pin on a first layer, the first metal pin and the second metal pin having a first minimum metal center-to-metal center pitch therebetween less than or equal to 80 nm, a fourth metal pin and a fifth metal pin at a second layer, the fourth metal pin and the fifth metal pin extending in a second direction, the second direction being perpendicular to the first direction, a first via between the first metal pin and the fourth metal pin, and a second via between the third metal pin and the fifth metal pin such that a first via center-to-via center space between the first via and the second via is greater than double the first minimum metal center-to-metal center pitch.
