In this way, by reasonably arranging the active areas, the gates and the redundant gates, compared with the prior art, only two active areas and two redundant gates are used in the layout structure, which can make the layout of the active areas more compact, thereby reducing the area of the layout occupied by the active areas and reducing the number of the redundant gates.
