CELL STRUCTURE IN INTERGRATED CIRCUITS FOR ECO AT UPPER METAL LAYER AND METHOD FOR FORMING SPARE CELL STRUCTURE
An integrated circuit includes a functional cell, and a spare gate cell configured to change or add a function of the functional cell in response to an engineering change order (ECO). The spare gate cell includes transistors configured as a decoupling capacitor before the ECO, and the spare gate cell is configured to change into an ECO cell including an interconnection metal line pattern disposed in the decoupling capacitor after the ECO.
