Abstract

An integrated circuit structure includes a cell on a metal level, the cell defined by a cell boundary. A plurality of substantially parallel interconnect lines are inside the cell boundary. A first power track and a second power track are both dedicated to power and are located completely inside the cell boundary without any power tracks along the cell boundary on the metal level.
