Abstract

A first inverter includes a plurality of first gate elements having first gate electrodes which extend in a first direction. A second inverter includes a plurality of second gate elements having second gate electrodes which extend in the first direction. A gate length of the first gate electrodes is the same as a gate length of the second gate electrodes, and a gate width of the first gate electrodes which is defined by a first active region, is the same as a gate width of the second gate electrodes which is defined by a second active region.
