Abstract

A computer-implemented method of designing an integrated circuit (IC) includes allocating a plurality of colors to a plurality of patterns corresponding to one layer of a first cell so that a multi-patterning technology is designated for use in forming the plurality of patterns, the first cell being a multi-height cell corresponding to a plurality of rows, generating a plurality of shift cells, in which a color remapping operation associated with the plurality of patterns is performed for each row, with respect to the first cell, and storing a cell set including the first cell and the plurality of shift cells in a standard cell library.
