Method of connecting to integrated circuitry

摘要

A method and structure are provided for connecting to integrated circuitry. A connectivity cell includes multiple terminals formed within the integrated circuitry. The connectivity cell further includes at least one metal layer connected to at least one of the terminals. A first area is a substantially minimal area including the connectivity cell. A second area is a substantially minimal area including at least a part of each of multiple portions of the integrated circuitry. The portions are connectable to respective ones of the terminals while having a placement flexibility relative to the terminals. This placement flexibility of the portions is substantially equal to a placement flexibility of the second area within the first area.
