Abstract
An embodiment cell shift scheme includes abutting a first transistor cell against a second transistor cell and shifting a place and route boundary away from a polysilicon disposed between the first transistor cell and the second transistor cell. In an embodiment, the cell shift scheme includes shifting the place and route boundary to prevent a mismatch between a layout versus schematic (LVS) netlist and a post-simulation netlist.
