Semiconductor integrated circuit fabrication method

摘要

A semiconductor integrated circuit fabrication method for designing and fabricating semiconductor circuit elements on a semiconductor substrate for an LSI comprises the steps of: replacing standard cells with symbolic cells with an one-to-one correspondence; registering the symbolic cells in a library; drawing a circuit diagram for a semiconductor integrated circuit; describing circuit description net statements for the semiconductor integrated circuit; arranging symbolic cells and wiring among the symbolic cells to obtain a symbolic layout based on the circuit diagram and the circuit description net statements; describing a stick diagram by using the symbolic layout; forming a mask pattern by using the stick diagrams; and forming the semiconductor circuit elements and wiring among the semiconductor circuit elements on the semiconductor substrate by using the mask pattern.
