An electro-migration verifying method is comprised of: a data inputting process step; a netlist updating process step (first process operation) for updating a netlist which is constructed by a wiring line parasitic element and a device element based upon a current density limit value database, a characteristic variation database, and wiring line current information; a current density calculating process step (second process operation) for calculating current density of the wiring line parasitic element from a device current and the updated netlist; a wiring line current information updating process step (third process operation) for updating the wiring line current information based upon the current density; a current density limit value comparing/judging process step (fourth process operation) for judging whether or not a current density value is located within the current density limit value based upon the updated wiring line current information and the current density limit value database; an electro-migration verifying process step constituted by the first process operation up to a fifth process operation of a step judging process step (fifth process operation) for judging a repetition process operation from step information; and a result outputting process step.
