Zusammenfassung:An integrated circuit layout is formed by performing a routing step forming a routing layout of routing conductors and routing connection vias prior to performing a power grid connection step which forms power connection vias between power grid conductors and standard-power cell conductors within the standard cells. This enables a minimum via spacing requirement to be met while permitting an increased flexibility in the positioning of the routing connection vias.
