In some situations, some of the one or more standard cells are unable to satisfy one or more electronic design constraints imposed by a semiconductor foundry and/or semiconductor technology node when placed onto the electronic device design real estate. In these situations, the one or more standard cell variations corresponding to these standard cells are placed onto the electronic device design real estate.
