Abstract:
A semiconductor device and a layout verification method of a semiconductor device are provided. The layout verification method includes forming a plurality of standard cells each having a first type of a cross coupled structure (XC) and a second type of the XC on a substrate of the semiconductor device, forming a plurality of first inverters in which the first type of the XC is activated in the a plurality of the standard cells and a plurality of second inverters in which the second type of the XC is activated in the a plurality of the standard cells and estimating an electrical characteristic of the first type of the XC or the second type of the XC by measuring a magnitude of a signal delay of the plurality of the first inverters or the plurality of the second inverters.
