A method of design of a standard cell and a standard cell is disclosed. The method design comprising the steps of: identifying a non-uniformity in a boundary condition of said standard cell that would affect a characteristic of a neighbouring standard cell; introducing a further non-uniformity into said cell to mitigate the effect of said identified non-uniform boundary condition on said characteristic of said neighbouring standard cell.
