Abstract
A method includes using a processor to placing a cell having a first conductive feature and a second conductive feature on an integrated circuit layout. A length of the first conductive feature is extended, by using the processor, to form a staggered configuration. A set of instructions for manufacturing an integrated circuit based upon the integrated circuit layout is generated, and the set of instructions is stored in a non-transitory machine readable storage medium.
