A method for distributing deep trench (DT) capacitance in an integrated circuit (IC) design is provided. The method includes forming a placement block that includes blockages defining openings in interstitial regions among the blockages, superimposing the placement block over the IC design and providing distributed DT capacitance to the IC design. The providing of the distributed DT capacitance includes adding DT capacitance cells through the openings to portions of the IC design where there are no reserved blocks.
