ABSTRACT:
Various methods for determining a layout of an integrated circuit are described. For example, a method is described comprising determining a layout of an integrated circuit comprising a plurality of functional cells, wherein a maximum extent of each of the cells in a first direction is identical and wherein an outer boundary of a first cell of the plurality of cells forms a first polygon with at least five corner points; and storing data representing the layout on a computer-readable medium. Integrated circuits in accordance with the layout are also described.
