Herein described are at least a standard cell that is less prone to the negative effects of dynamic IR power supply voltage drops and a method of implementing the standard cell. The standard cell incorporates at least one on-cell capacitor positioned between a power supply rail and a ground rail. The at least one one-cell capacitor provides a charge reservoir for the standard cell to mitigate such dynamic IR power supply voltage drops. The method for implementing the standard cell comprises connecting at least one capacitor across a power supply rail to a ground rail of said standard cell. The at least one capacitor may be implemented by way of using a polysilicon layer and an N-well layer or by way of using a metal layer and an N-well layer.
