Abstract
A method of designing a layout of a semiconductor device, includes: preparing a standard cell library including information on standard cells; determining a layout of a common pattern region in consideration of a local layout effect based on the standard cell library; adding the common pattern region having a cell height that is identical to a cell height of each of the standard cells to opposite sides of one or more of the standard cells; and arranging the standard cells to share the common pattern region between at least one pair of adjacent ones of the standard cells.
