Abstract

An integrated circuit (IC) design layout may be partitioned into a set of content areas. A content area in the set of content areas may be divided into a set of zones based on an image-based representation of the content area. A repetition unit may be identified in a zone in the set of zones, where the repetition unit is a portion of the zone, and where the zone includes multiple instances of the repetition unit. A skeleton layout may be generated corresponding to the IC design layout, where the skeleton layout specifies locations of the multiple instances of the repetition unit in the IC design layout.
