Abstract:
A computer-implemented method of manufacturing an integrated circuit includes placing a plurality of standard cells that define the integrated circuit, selecting a timing critical path from among a plurality of timing paths included in the placed standard cells, and selecting at least one net from among a plurality of nets included in the timing critical path as at least one timing critical net. The method further includes pre-routing the at least one timing critical net with an air-gap layer, routing unselected nets, generating a layout using the pre-routed at least one timing critical net and the routed unselected nets, and manufacturing the integrated circuit based on the layout.

Claim (Index 15):
A standard cell defining an integrated circuit, comprising:\n a first active area; a second active area; a plurality of fins; a plurality of first metal lines; a second metal line; a plurality of first air-gap patterns disposed between the plurality of first metal lines; and a second air-gap pattern disposed on a first side of the second metal line, wherein the plurality of first metal lines and the second metal line are disposed between the first active area and the second active area.
