Abstract:
An apparatus including a memory storing instructions and a processor executing the instructions to perform a method including: performing error processing of an initial design file layout; detecting a tip-to-tip (T2T) structure design violation at a design cell boundary for a metal layer above (Ma) a via (Vx) at a tip of the Ma for the initial design file layout for a semiconductor structure based on a library of pattern rules; retargeting the Vx for generating a resulting design file layout of the semiconductor structure; and generating a physical semiconductor structure based on the resulting design file layout of the semiconductor structure.

Claim (Index 4):
The apparatus of  claim 3 , wherein the method further comprises:\n determining whether the Vx is at a first metal line end (LE); upon the Vx being at the metal LE, setting a T2T design value for the resulting design file layout for the semiconductor structure; analyzing the Ma, the Vx and the Mb to determine whether the Mb is at a second metal LE; and upon the Vx not being at the first metal LE, relaxing T2T requirement values for the initial design file layout for the semiconductor structure.
