Abstract

An integrated circuit includes a first region corresponding to a first circuit and including a first dummy pattern and a first signal pattern which are spaced apart from each other by a width of a spacer in a conductive layer to extend in parallel in a first horizontal direction and a second region corresponding to a second circuit which is the same as the first circuit and including a second dummy pattern and a second signal pattern which are spaced apart from each other by the width of the spacer in the conductive layer to extend in parallel in the first horizontal direction. The first signal pattern and the second signal pattern are configured so that a first signal and a second signal corresponding to each other in the first circuit and the second circuit are respectively applied to the first signal pattern and the second signal pattern.
