Abstract: A method of designing a layout of an integrated circuit (IC) includes: preparing a standard cell library that stores a first standard cell and a second standard cell, each of the first standard cell and the second standard cell including a plurality of conductive lines that extend in a first direction, placing the first standard cell and the second standard cell to be adjacent to each other in a first boundary parallel to the plurality of conductive lines, and generating a decoupling capacitor by using at least one first conductive line of the plurality of conductive lines when a same voltage is applied to a first pattern adjacent to the first boundary in the first standard cell and a second pattern adjacent to the first boundary in the second standard cell, the at least one first conductive line being adjacent to the first boundary.

Abstract: A method of designing an integrated circuit includes a processor receiving input data initially-defining the integrated circuit using a plurality of first standard cells designed to optimize a performance or yield characteristic. The processor substitutes at least one second standard cell designed to optimize a different performance or yield characteristic from that for which the first standard cells were optimized for a corresponding one of the first standard cells. The processor generates output data defining the integrated circuit including the second standard cell. The substituted second standard cell has the same function as the corresponding first standard cell for which it was substituted.

Abstract: A standard cell library and a method of using the same may include information regarding a plurality of standard cells stored on a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, wherein at least one of the plurality of standard cells includes a pin through which an input signal or an output signal of the at least one standard cell passes and including first and second regions perpendicular to a stack direction. When the via is disposed in the pin, the second region can provide a resistance value of the via smaller than that of the first region. The standard cell library may further include marker information corresponding to the second region.
