An IC having closely packed rows of cells enables both regular structures (register stacks and memories) and random logic structures to be efficiently fabricated from it. Circuits having more parallel-to-the-length-of-the-rows interconnecting wiring than regular structures have wiring corridors over inactive rows of cells whose cells are not connected into the circuit. A grid power bus structure smooths power flow with a minimum of active device loss by hyphenating "large" cells across the cell-row-crossing conductors.
