Standard cell and semiconductor device including anchor nodes

A semiconductor device comprising:

• a first cell, wherein the first cell comprises:
• a plurality of functional features;
• a first sensitivity region, wherein a first functional feature of the plurality of functional features extends into the first sensitivity region;
• and
• at least one anchor node, wherein each of the at least one anchor node is different from the first functional feature, and a number of anchor nodes of the at least one anchor node linked to the first functional feature is based on a distance that the first functional feature extends into the first sensitivity region;
• and
• a second cell abutting the first cell, wherein the second cell comprises:
• a second functional feature, wherein the second functional feature satisfies a minimum spacing requirement with respect to each of the plurality of functional features.
