Abstract
A method of modifying an integrated circuit layout includes determining whether a first conductive line and a second conductive line are subject to a parasitic capacitance above a parasitic capacitance threshold. The method further includes adjusting the integrated circuit layout by moving the first conductive line in the integrated circuit layout in response to determining to move the first conductive line. The method further includes inserting an isolation structure between the first and second conductive lines in the integrated circuit layout in response to determining not to move the first conductive line.
