    摘要: A semiconductor integrated circuit device includes cells A-1, B-1, and C-1 that have the same logic. Cell B-1 has cell width W2 larger than a cell width of cell A-1, but gate length L1 of a MOS transistor is equal to that of cell A-1. Cell C-1 has cell width W2 equal to a cell width of cell B-1, but has a MOS transistor having large gate length L2. A circuit delay of cell C-1 becomes large as compared with that of cells A-1 and B-1, but leak current becomes small. Therefore, by replacing cell A-1 adjacent to a space area with cell B-1, and by replacing cell B-1 in a path having room in timing with cell C-1, for example, leak current can be suppressed without increasing a chip area.

In a boundary portion between the first and second cells, a metal wiring line extending in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction is placed so as not to short-circuit the power supply line and the ground line.

    摘要: A delay library of high accuracy is efficiently generated within a short time period. To this end, a set-up time is calculated by static analysis with no consideration of a delay caused by a wire; the initial value of the search range for the next binary search cycle is set such that the set-up time is the median value of the search range (for example, the range of 0.5 ns is set); and correct set-up time α is obtained using binary search based on the initial value of the search range.

    摘要: In a layout structure capable of independent supply of a substrate or well potential from a power supply potential, further reduction in layout area is achieved. A reinforcing power supply cell is inserted in a cell line in which a plurality of cells are arranged in series. Each of the cells includes an impurity doped region for supplying a substrate or well potential NWVDD which is different from a positive power supply potential VDD to a p-type transistor arranging region. The reinforcing power supply cell includes a power supply impurity doped region to which an impurity doped region of an adjacent cell is electrically connected and a power supply wire provided in a wiring layer formed above the power supply impurity doped region and electrically connected to the power supply impurity doped region.
