PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To easily specify an error position in layout verification of a semiconductor integrated circuit having a hierarchical structure. SOLUTION: The method for verifying the layout of the semiconductor integrated circuit includes a step of extracting power source wiring and ground wiring of an upper stage layer based on layout data built in each hierarchical cell (S200), a step of assigning a layer different from the layer of the other wiring layer to the extracted power source wiring and the ground wiring (S300), a step of forming a chip layout on the hierarchical cell based on the layout data (S400), and a step of outputting information for specifying a shorting position (S700) when the short circuit of the power source wiring and the ground wiring is sensed based on the layer of the chip layout (YES in step S500).
