Method of layout for LSI

摘要

The layout method of a semiconductor integrated circuit device according to the present invention includes a net list modification process for adding a cell to a flip-flop group directly connected to the clock source, a process for generating gated circuit division information which allocates the division number of the gated circuit and the drive ability of the cell so that the drive ability of the cell is selected and the delay value becomes uniform, a gated circuit division process for forming a cluster by dividing each of the gated circuits through clustering, a gated cell division process for allocating to each cluster the same number of gated cells as that of the formed clusters and a gated cell front stage CTS process in order to reduce the skew of the clock signal from the clock source via the gated cell to the flip-flop and to control the power consumption of the clock signal part.
