Summary:Among others, provided is at least one technology and/or system to perform a design layout. In an embodiment, the design layout corresponds to a layout of a standard cell in which connection is described by a netlist. For example, the netlist specifies a net type for each via of the standard cell. At least one connection ring is formed in the design layout to provide connection for at least one via of the design layout. For example, a first connection ring is generated from a mandrel to connect at least one ring-one via. A second connection ring is generated from a passive pattern to connect at least one ring-two via. At least one cut is generated in the design layout to separate vias having different net types. In this method, the design layout is a self-aligned double patterning (SADP) compliant.
