DATABASE CREATION METHOD, DATABASE DEVICE AND DESIGN DATA EVALUATION METHOD

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a database creation method for suppressing the increase of time required for evaluating the design data of a semiconductor integrated circuit. SOLUTION: This database creation method configured by registering a plurality of functional block cells configuring design data of a plurality of semiconductor circuits and a plurality of evaluation values for the plurality of functional blocks in association with each other includes: (S1) determining whether or not a plurality of cells Cij configuring the design data are registered in the database 4 concerning the design data of a desired semiconductor integrated circuit; (S2) when it is determined that any cell Cij which has not been registered in the database 4 is present among the plurality of cells Cij configuring the design data of the desired semiconductor integrated circuit, calculating the evaluation values of the unregistered cells; and (S3) updating the database 4 by registering the unregistered cells and the evaluation values in the database 4 in association with each other.
