Abstract

Disclosed is a semiconductor device comprising a first logic cell and a second logic cell on a substrate. Each of the first and second logic cells includes a first active region and a second active region that are adjacent to each other in a first direction, a gate electrode that runs across the first and second active regions and extends lengthwise in the first direction, and a first metal layer on the gate electrode. The first metal layer includes a first power line and a second power line that extend lengthwise in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, and are parallel to each other. The first and second logic cells are adjacent to each other in the second direction along the first and second power lines. The first and second active regions extend lengthwise in the second direction from the first logic cell to the second logic cell.
