Abstract:
A method of fabricating an integrated circuit is disclosed. The method includes defining a via grid, generating a first layout design of the integrated circuit based on at least the via grid or design criteria, generating a standard cell layout design of the integrated circuit, generating a via color layout design of the integrated circuit based on the first layout design and the standard cell layout design, performing a color check on the via color layout design based on design rules, and fabricating the integrated circuit based on at least the via color layout design. The first layout design has a first set of vias arranged in first rows and first columns based on the via grid. The standard cell layout design has standard cells and a second set of vias arranged in the standard cells. The via color layout design has a third set of vias.

Claim (Index 3):
The method of  claim 2 , wherein performing the color mapping between the first layout design and the standard cell layout design comprises:\n adding the second set of vias and corresponding locations of the standard cell layout design to a second layout design at same corresponding locations in the second layout design; adding the colors of the first set of vias in the first layout design to corresponding vias of the second set of vias in the second layout design, and filtering the second layout design based upon the color thereby generating a filtered second layout design, each via in the filtered second layout design has the same color.
