Abstract

A power network includes a plurality of power switch units disposed in a first semiconductor layer, arranged in a plurality of columns along a first direction and a plurality of rows along a second direction. The power switch units in even rows are aligned with a center point of a horizontal space between adjacent two of the power switch units in the same row of the odd rows of the power switch units in the first direction. The power switch units in even columns are aligned with a center point of a vertical space between adjacent two of the power switch units in the same column of the odd columns of the power switch units in the second direction. The power network further includes a plurality of second connecting lines disposed in a fourth semiconductor layer and extending in the second direction.
