Abstract
An integrated circuit is provided. The integrated circuit includes a first cell that has a first height and is arranged in a first row which extends in a first direction; a second cell that has a second height and is arranged in a second row which extends in the first direction and is adjacent to the first row, wherein the second cell is adjacent to the first cell in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction; and a power line that extends in the first direction, is arranged on a boundary between the first cell and the second cell, and is configured to supply power to the first cell and the second cell. The first cell overlaps a first width of the power line along the second direction and the second cell overlaps a second width of the power line along the second direction, and the first width and the second width are different from each other.
