Each of the standard cells includes, in part, a conductive line that extends in the first direction and is interconnected to an adjacent standard cell through a source/drain via. To confirm the placement and routing, a first spaced distance from a tip of one of the conductive lines to a tip of the other conductive line, and a second spaced distance from the tip of the first conductive line to the cell boundary are compared with preset threshold values. Revising the layout draft may include adjusting a tip position of one of the conductive lines.
