Abstract
A method of forming an integrated device includes: pre-storing a plurality of via pillars in a storage tool; arranging a first via pillar selected from the plurality of via pillars to electrically connect to a circuit cell in a first circuit; analyzing electromigration (EM) information of the first circuit to determine if the first via pillar induces an EM phenomenon; arranging a second via pillar selected from the plurality of via pillars to replace the first via pillar of the circuit cell to generate a second circuit when the first via pillar induces the EM phenomenon; and generating the integrated device according to the second circuit.
