Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a layout repairing method and apparatus, a computer device, and a storage medium. The method includes: obtaining an initial layout of a semiconductor integrated circuit, wherein a metal connection line is formed on the initial layout; forming a power fill grid on the initial layout, wherein the power fill grid includes a slotted hole that overlaps orthographic projection of the metal connection line on the power fill grid, and the slotted hole includes a first section overlapping the metal connection line and at least one second section staggered with the metal connection line; and increasing area of the second section if the area of the second section is less than a lower threshold, to form a repaired layout.
