Integrated circuit including segmented patterns and method for designing the same

Abstract

An integrated circuit is provided. The integrated circuit includes: a first pattern extending along a first direction in a first wiring layer; a second pattern and a third pattern extending in parallel with each other along a second direction in a second wiring layer; a first via between the first pattern and the second pattern; a second via between the first pattern and the third pattern; and a fourth pattern and a fifth pattern aligned to the first pattern and extending along the first direction in the first wiring layer. The first pattern is between the fourth pattern and the fifth pattern, and the first pattern, the fourth pattern and the fifth pattern are electrically connected to each other.
