摘要: A method of modifying a cell includes determining a number of pins in a maximum overlapped pin group region. The method further includes determining a number of routing tracks within a span region of the maximum overlapped pin group region. The method further includes comparing the number of pins and the number of routing tracks within the span region to determine a global tolerance of the cell. The method further includes increasing a length of at least one pin of the maximum overlapped pin group in response to the global tolerance failing to satisfy a predetermined threshold.

摘要: A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device (for a layout diagram stored on a non-transitory computer-readable medium) includes generating the layout diagram. The generating the layout diagram includes: placing standard functional cells to partially fill a logic area of the layout diagram according to at least one corresponding schematic design thereby leaving, as unfilled, a spare region in the logic area; selecting a first pitch for additional cells to be placed in the spare region, wherein use of the first pitch minimizes wasted space in the spare region; selecting standard not-yet-programmed (SNYP) spare cells, which are to become at least some of the additional cells, according to the first pitch; and placing the selected SNYP spare cells into the spare region of the layout diagram.
