ABSTRACT:
A semiconductor device may include a borderless logic array and area I/Os. The logic array may comprise a repeating core, and at least one of the area I/Os may be a configurable I/O. Furthermore, the configurable I/O may comprise at least one metal layer that is the same for all I/O configurations.
