A method includes obtaining a plurality of design rules for an integrated circuit, including a first set of design rules and a second set of design rules. An automated layout construction process performed on the basis of the first set of design rules but not on the basis of the second set of design rules creates a layout of the integrated circuit. The layout of the integrated circuit is checked for design rule violations wherein at least one member of the second set of design rules is not satisfied. The layout of the integrated circuit is modified for bringing the layout into conformity with each of the plurality of design rules if one or more design rule violations are found in the checking of the integrated circuit.
