1. A method of fabricating a semiconductor device, comprising:
disposing a first standard cell on an area-oriented region and a second standard cell on a performance-oriented region, the performance-oriented region being spaced apart from the area-oriented region;
performing a routing operation on the first and second standard cells; and
fabricating the semiconductor device including the first and second standard cells,
wherein the performing of the routing operation comprises:
defining first routing tracks on the area-oriented region, a pitch between the first routing tracks being a first pitch;
defining second routing tracks on the performance-oriented region, a pitch between the second routing tracks being a second pitch greater than the first pitch;
disposing first routing patterns on the first routing tracks, respectively; and
disposing second routing patterns on the second routing tracks, respectively,
wherein a smallest line width of the first routing patterns is smaller than a smallest line width of the second routing patterns, and
wherein a smallest space of the first routing patterns is smaller than a smallest space of the second routing patterns.
