    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: Methods of generating an integrated circuit layout include forming a standard cell by providing a first active area adjacent to a first cell boundary line. The first active area is spaced apart from the first cell boundary line by a first distance. A second active area is provided adjacent to a second cell boundary line. The second cell boundary line opposes the first cell boundary line. The second active area is spaced apart from the second cell boundary line by a second distance. Fins are formed on the first and second active areas. The fins extend in a first direction and parallel to one another in a second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction. The first cell boundary line is parallel to the fins. The first distance and the second distance remain constant when a number of the fins on the first and second active areas is changed.
