Abstract

A layout structure of a standard cell using a complementary FET (CFET) is provided. The standard cell includes a first three-dimensional transistor and a second three-dimensional transistor formed above the first transistor in the depth direction, between buried first and second power supply lines. A first contact connects a local interconnect connected to the first transistor and the first power supply line. A second contact connects a local interconnect connected to the second transistor and the second power supply line. The second contact is longer in the depth direction and greater in size in planar view than the first contact.
