Computer-aided design supporting system in which cells can be arranged independently

摘要

A computer-aided design supporting system for a semiconductor device includes a cell library (3), an arranging tool (4) and a wiring tool (5). The cell library stores a plurality of logic cell patterns, a plurality of power supply cell patterns, and a plurality of ground cell patterns. A logic device pattern of the semiconductor device includes one of the plurality of logic cell patterns, one of the plurality of power supply cell patterns, and one of the plurality of ground cell patterns. The arranging tool arranges selected ones of the plurality of logic cell patterns, selected ones of the plurality of power supply cell patterns and selected ones of the plurality of ground cell patterns on cell tracks individually and independently in response to an arrange instruction. The wiring tool connects between the selected logic cell patterns, between the selected power supply cell patterns and between the selected ground cell patterns arranged on the cell tracks in response to a wiring instruction to form a pattern of the semiconductor device.
