Yield-preferred via insertion is an effective method to reduce the yield loss caused by via failures. The existing methods to apply the redundant-cut vias in metal layers are not efficient nor adequate. In this paper, we present an effective and efficient yieldpreferred via insertion method based on a novel geotoplogical layout platform, GEOTOP. Our method chooses the most yieldfavored via candidate and insert it into the layout without causing any design rule violations. Experiments with real industry designs show that our method can achieve very high rate of yieldpreferred via without increasing the design die size within acceptable running time.
