PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To determine a suitable type matched with each intermediate product and to improve yield in LSI manufacturing by estimating the transistor performance of each intermediate product on the way of LSI manufacturing.;SOLUTION: In the manufacturing of a structured ASIC, an intermediate product is manufactured on which a transistor layer or a transistor layer and a metal 1 layer are formed, and then a transistor speed in each intermediate product is measured and the maximum delay estimation value of the transistor speed is calculated by using the measured result and statistic data related to the transistor speed. Then, the type of the structured ASIC is determined from an LSI type list on the basis of the calculated result.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
