Abstract
A semiconductor device includes a first cell. The first cell includes a first functional feature, a first sensitivity region, at least one anchor node, wherein each of the at least one anchor node is different from the first functional feature, and a number of anchor nodes of the at least one anchor node linked to the first functional feature is based on a position of the first functional feature relative to the first sensitivity region. The semiconductor device further includes a second cell abutting the first cell. The second cell includes a second functional feature, wherein the second functional feature satisfies a minimum spacing requirement with respect to the first functional feature.
