Memory

A memory vertical-border cell on an integrated circuit (IC), comprising:

• a first memory core endcap extending vertically in a second direction on a first side of the cell;
• a second memory core endcap extending vertically in the second direction on a second side of the cell, the second side being opposite the first side in a first direction, the first direction being orthogonal to the second direction;
• and
• a memory gap portion extending vertically in the second direction between the first memory core endcap and the second memory core endcap, the memory gap portion providing a gap in the first direction between the first memory core endcap and the second memory core endcap.

An integrated circuit (IC), comprising:

• a first memory block;
• a second memory block;
• and
• a first memory border cell between the first memory block and the second memory block, the first memory border cell comprising:
• a first memory core endcap to the first memory block on a first side of the cell;
• a second memory core endcap to the second memory block on a second side of the cell, the second side being opposite the first side;
• and
• a memory gap portion between the first memory core endcap and the second memory core endcap, the memory gap portion providing a gap between the first memory core endcap and the second memory core endcap.
