Pin access hybrid cell height design and system

A system for generating an integrated circuit, the system comprising:

• a non-transitory computer readable medium configured to store instructions thereon;
• and
• a processor connected to the non-transitory computer readable medium, wherein the processor is configured to execute the instructions for:
• arranging a plurality of cells in the layout diagram, wherein each cell of the plurality of cells comprises a first power rail along a first boundary and a second power rail along a second boundary, and the first boundary is spaced from the second boundary in a first direction;
• and
• placing a plurality of cell pins over a plurality of selected via placement points in a first cell of the plurality of cells in accordance with a design rule, wherein a first cell pin of the plurality of cell pins has a first end spaced from both the first power rail and the second power rail in the first direction.
