Abstract

A method for optimizing manufacturability of standard cells includes generating random contexts for the standard cells, inserting vias into the standard cells, and performing a lithography verification on the standard cells after the vias have been inserted. The method enables early detection and resolution of potential hot spots on standard cell pin connections and reduction of hot spots that are introduced by the router at the chip level. The early detection and reduction of hot spots shortens the cycle time of a standard-cell based design.
