PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce a space in and cut down costs of a standard cell for realizing such a circuit that drives a plurality of complementary transistor pairs (CMOS pairs) in-phase.SOLUTION: A standard cell of a type that drives a complementary pair in-phase is included in a cell for forming a desired circuit. The complementary in-phase drive type standard cell includes one or more non-rectangular standard cells, the non-rectangular standard cell being such that the size of a standardized cell length is defined by a cell length twice or more of a basic cell length corresponding to an equivalent of one complementary transistor pair, and the interconnected gate electrodes of a plurality of complementary transistor pairs that are driven in-phase are formed as common gate electrodes 27, in which way the complementary in-phase drive type standard cell is formed. The complementary in-phase drive type standard cell is provided with a first rectangular section in which the common gate electrodes 27 are linearly arranged in the direction of the standard cell length and a second rectangular section in which the common gate electrodes 27 extend along one of two sides facing each other in the standardized cell length direction of the first rectangular section. |
