Original Abstract Submitted
an integrated circuit may include a first active region and a second active region, and the first and second active regions may extend on a substrate in a first horizontal direction in parallel to each other and have different conductivity types from each other. a first gate line may extend in a second horizontal direction crossing the first horizontal direction, and may form a first transistor with the first active region. the first transistor may include a gate to which a first input signal is applied. the first gate line may include a first partial gate line that overlaps the first active region in a perpendicular direction and that has an end on a region between the first and second active regions.
