Abstract A layout system automatically generates via definitions for a routing tool based on manufacturability of vias based on the via definitions. A physical verification tool of the system applies a set of preliminary via definitions to an integrated circuit test design at each of a plurality of offsets from a plurality of via locations to generate a set of candidate via definitions. Candidate via definitions that violate one or more design rules are discarded. A hierarchy constructor tool ranks the resulting candidate via definitions based on a combination of their manufacturability and frequency of applicability in the test design, and a predefined number of the candidate via definitions are selected based on their ranking. These selected via definitions can be used by a routing tool to generate a layout for another (non-test) integrated circuit device.
