Abstract
A semiconductor device, method, and system of arranging patterns of the same are provided. The method includes generating a plurality of gate patterns and conductive patterns, wherein each of the plurality of gate patterns and conductive patterns is located at a first horizontal level and extends along a first direction. The method also includes selecting one of the gate patterns as an input pin or one of the conductive patterns as an output pin. The method further includes generating, based on a selected gate pattern or a selected conductive pattern, a plurality of metallization patterns. Each of the plurality of metallization patterns is located at a second horizontal level overlying the first horizontal level and extends along a second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction.
