Abstract
A method of designing an integrated circuit includes receiving input data defining the integrated circuit, receiving information from a standard cell library including a plurality of standard cells, receiving information from a modified cell library including at least one modified cell having a same function as a corresponding standard cell among the plurality of standard cells and having a higher routability than the corresponding standard cell and generating output data by performing placement and routing in response to the input data, the information from the standard cell library and the information from the modified cell library.
