Abstract

Abstract A complementary metal-oxide semiconductor master slice integrated circuit comprises a plurality of basic cells (41, 141; 42, 142; ... ) in an internal functional gate region (22), each basic cell, which is a basic repetition unit, including a single D-channel metal-oxide semiconductor (41, 42, ...) and a single N-channel metal-oxide semiconductor (141, 142, ...) which are disposed linearly with respect to each other through an electrical isolation region. The plurality of basic cells are equidistantly disposed in parallel in a traverse direction of the internal functional gate region (22), without disposing any electrical isolation regions between the basic cells, so that the positions (101-108, 91-98) where longitudinal wirings are to be placed in a wriring zone (31, 32) correspond to the basic cells in a one-to-one manner. An electrical isolation between a plurality of logical gates structured in the internal functional region is achieved by applying a relatively positive voltage potential and a relatively negative potential to a P-channel metal-oxide semiconductor and an N-channel metal-oxide semiconductor included in the basic cells, respectively. Two metal-oxide semiconductors included in a basic cell are used as a complementary metal-oxide semiconductor by connecting them in a complementary manner, as necessary.
