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 11):
The system of  claim 10 , wherein the processor is configured to execute the instructions for generating the first layout design of the integrated circuit based on at least the via grid or the design criteria, the design criteria comprising at least:\n one or more via spacing rules; a layout requirement of the integrated circuit; a place and route requirement of the integrated circuit including minimum spacing requirements between power plan vias and adjacent vias of the sub-sets of vias, the power plan vias and adjacent vias of the sub-sets of vias being the same color; or a mask count.
