Abstract:
At least one method, apparatus and system disclosed involves circuit layout for an integrated circuit device comprising an asymmetrically placed metal formation. A design for an integrated circuit device is received. The design comprises at least one functional cell. A first metal formation is placed asymmetrically about a first cell boundary of the functional cell for providing additional space for routing.
