Abstract
A method of designing a layout of an integrated circuit (IC) includes placing a first cell in the layout, placing a second cell in the layout adjacent to the first cell at a first boundary between the first and second cells, and generating a plurality of commands executable by a processor to form a semiconductor device based on the layout. The first cell includes a first pattern and a second pattern. The first and second patterns are adjacent to the first boundary, the first and second patterns have different colors, and a first boundary space between the first pattern and the first boundary is different from a second boundary space between the second pattern and the first boundary.
