A signal line, being in a six-layer board and connecting terminal 102 of component 101 with terminal 115 of component 114, requires tamper-resistance. The signal line is composed of foil 103 on an outside layer, a via 104, foil 111 on the third layer, via 105, foil 112 on the fourth layer, via 106, and foil 113 on the sixth layer. Portions of the signal line that exist on outside layers are all hidden under circuit components. Foil 103 and an end of via 104 are placed under component 101 on first layer 116, an end of via 105 is placed under component 107 on layer 116, an end of via 106 is placed under component 108 on layer 116, the other end of via 104 is placed under component 109 on sixth layer 121, the other end of via 105 is placed under component 110 on layer 121, and foil 113 and the other end of via 106 are placed under component 114 on layer 121.

In a design aiding apparatus of the present invention, a plane clearance setting unit acquires information showing a predetermined margin, a component placement unit determines a placement area of a component such that, as seen in a lamination direction of a multilayer wiring board, at least one of the component and a pad connected to the component is included within a candidate area of a plane foil excluding a perimeter area, and a wiring unit determines a placement area of a wiring foil and a via in the same way that the placement area of the component is determined. Furthermore, in regard to a component, a component pad, a wiring foil, and a via whose placement areas have already been determined, a component placement inspection unit reports a design condition violation if the placement area of at least one of the component and the pad deviates outside the candidate area as seen in the lamination direction of the board, and a wiring inspection unit reports a design condition violation if the placement area of the wiring foil or the via deviates outside the candidate area as seen in the lamination direction of the board.
