<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable miniaturization and cost reduction in a semiconductor integrated circuit for mass production, while providing a large number of pads required for chip evaluation of the integrated circuit or software development. <P>SOLUTION: The pads of an integrated circuit are classified into a pad 202 for software development used only in software development using the integrated circuit, and the other usual pad 203. It is made for a region wherein the pad 202 for software development is arranged to serve in the outside of the region wherein usually the pad 203 is arranged. A process for designing the integrated circuit as a semiconductor integrated circuit 102 for software development, and a process for designing a semiconductor integrated circuit 106 for mass production by removing the pad 202 for software development from the layout data of the integrated circuit 102 for software development are carried out. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT</p> |
