Abstract
Electronic cells/cell library and related technology/method capable of achieving high integration of integrated circuits. In one embodiment, the proposed technology adopts cells with cell heights equal to a non-integer multiplication of the routing track to establish a cell library, so a layout area of each cell is reduced. Further, higher integration of integrated circuit can be achieved by applying the proposed cells in integrated circuits.
