Abstract
A method performed by at least one processor includes the following steps. A layout of an integrated circuit (IC) is accessed, wherein the layout has at least one cell. A context group for the cell is determined based on a layout context of the cell, wherein the context group is associated with a timing table. A timing analysis is performed on the layout to determine whether the layout complies with a timing constraint rule according to the timing table. A system including one or more processors including instructions for implementing the method and a non-transitory computer readable storage medium including instructions for implementing the method are also provided.
