An IC includes a first memory block, a second memory block, and a first memory border cell between the first memory block and the second memory block. The first memory border cell includes a first memory core endcap to the first memory block on a first side of the cell. The first memory border cell further includes a second memory core endcap to the second memory block on a second side of the cell. The second side is opposite the first side. The first memory border cell further includes a memory gap portion between the first memory core endcap and the second memory core endcap. The memory gap portion provides a gap between the first memory core endcap and the second memory core endcap.
