This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18219292 titled 'Skew Cell Architecture

Original Abstract Submitted

Various implementations described herein are directed to a device having a skew cell architecture with multiple diffusion regions including P-type diffusion regions disposed between N-type diffusion regions. The device may have power rails including a voltage supply rail disposed between ground rails. The device may have poly-gate rails disposed between the ground rails. The poly-gate rails may be cut to provide an open space between at least one N-type diffusion region and at least one P-type diffusion region.
