Cell routability prioritization

A method comprising:

• determining at a computer device, based on routing information associated with a test layout, a plurality of weights, each of the plurality of weights corresponding to a different one of a plurality of routability characteristics of a standard cell;
• creating at the computer device a layout of the standard cell based on the plurality of weights.

A computer readable storage medium tangibly embodying a plurality of instructions to be executed by a processor, the plurality of instructions comprising instructions to:

• prioritize, based on stored routing information, of a plurality of routability characteristics of a standard cell associated with an integrated circuit device design to determine a prioritization;
• and
• determine a layout of the standard cell based on the prioritization.
