PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method of designing a semiconductor integrated circuit which allows buffer cells to be disposed in the corner regions of a chip, a semiconductor integrated circuit manufactured by this designing method and a semiconductor mask for manufacturing the semiconductor integrated circuit. SOLUTION: A wiring model is formed with buffer cells 2 disposed in the corner regions 1 of a chip. A wiring layout is formed according to the formed wiring model. Based on the wiring layout, alternative cells (30) are formed between the corner regions 1 and a core region 5 for ensuring wiring regions 4. The alternative cells (30) are disposed as buffer cells to prevent the wiring region 4 from being occupied by other buffer cells 3. The buffer cells 2 are disposed at the corner regions 1.
