PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a design method or the like for a semiconductor device, capable of reducing design time of the semiconductor device. SOLUTION: This design method comprises a step (a) to receive a net list of the semiconductor device to be designed, a step (b) to provisionally arrange a plurality of function blocks, a step (c) to divide a logic region into a plurality of rectangular regions, a step (d) to calculate a predicted wiring length and a predicted utilization rate of the logic region on the basis of a database and the net list of the semiconductor device to be designed, a step (e) to repeat from the step (b) to the step (d) if the prescribed condition is not satisfied, a step (f) to arrange a plurality of basic cells and a wiring if the prescribed condition is satisfied, and a step (g) to output the predicted wiring length.
