The method includes the steps of reserving a space in the standard cells required for at least one protection component, determining those cells after wiring, which require a protection component, and inserting the protection components in the determined cells. The space in the standard cells required for the protection component is preferably marked in the layout of the integrated circuit through a place holder (5). A protection diode, i.e. tie-down diode, is preferably provided for the component. Connections for protection components are preferably provided in the standard cells, and the cells are preferably gate arrays.
