    摘要: A method of designing an integrated circuit includes defining at least one dummy layer covering at least one of a portion of a first metallic layer and a portion of a second metallic layer of an integrated circuit. The second metallic layer is disposed over the first metallic layer. The first metallic layer, the second metallic layer and a gate electrode of the integrated circuit have a same routing direction. A logical operation is performed to a file corresponding to the at least one of the portion of the first metallic layer and the portion of the second metallic layer covered by the dummy layer so as to size at least one of the portion of the first metallic layer and the portion of the second metallic layer.

    摘要: A method includes selecting a cell stored in a non-transient computer readable storage medium, arranging a plurality of the cells on a model of a semiconductor device, and creating a mask for the semiconductor device based on the model of the semiconductor device. The cell is designed according to a design rule in which a first power-supply-connection via satisfies a criterion from the group consisting of: i) the first power-supply-connection via is spaced apart from a second power-supply-connection via by a distance that is greater than a threshold distance such that the cell can be fabricated by a single-photolithography single-etch process, or ii) the first power-supply-connection via is coupled to first and second substantially parallel conductive lines that extend along directly adjacent tracks.
