Methods of fabricating semiconductor devices are provided. A method of fabricating a semiconductor device includes selecting a target pattern from a target design layout. The target pattern includes: a target net; a target via that is electrically connected to the target net; and a crossing net that is electrically connected to the target via on a different level from the target net. The method includes analyzing a peripheral pattern that is adjacent the target net. Moreover, the method includes generating a redundant net, and a redundant via that electrically connects the redundant net and the crossing net. Related layout design systems are also provided.
