Abstract
A semiconductor integrated circuit device including standard cells including fin transistors includes, at a cell row end, a cell-row-terminating cell that does not contribute to a logical function of a circuit block. The cell-row-terminating cell includes a plurality of fins extending in an X direction. Ends of the plurality of fins on the inner side of the circuit block are near a gate structure placed at a cell end and do not overlap with the gate structure in a plan view, and ends of the plurality of fins on an outer side of the circuit block overlap with any one of a gate structure in a plan view.
