Abstract:
The present disclosure describes an example method for routing a standard cell with multiple pins. The method can include modifying a dimension of a pin of the standard cell, where the pin is spaced at an increased distance from a boundary of the standard cell than an original position of the pin. The method also includes routing an interconnect from the pin to a via placed on a pin track located between the pin and the boundary and inserting a wire cut between the interconnect and a pin from an adjacent standard cell. The method further includes verifying that the wire cut separates the interconnect from the pin from the adjacent standard cell by at least a predetermined distance.
