ABSTRACT:
An interconnect zone cell resides within an integrated circuit laid out according to a layout. The integrated circuit includes a first circuit block, laid out according to a first minimum feature size. The integrated circuit further includes a second circuit block, laid out according to a second minimum feature size. The interconnect zone cell includes a coupler that couples a portion of the first circuit block to a portion of the second circuit block.
