Abstract
A processing unit reads out design information about a highest hierarchical layer from a storage unit, divides the highest hierarchical layer into a plurality of segments (segments, etc.) based on the design information about the highest hierarchical layer, detects overlapping areas (optimum placement areas) in which segments at a corresponding location among a plurality of instances in a lowest hierarchical layer included in the highest hierarchical layer overlap with each other at least partly when the plurality of instances are overlapped with each other, sets, in each of the overlapping areas in the plurality of instances, a temporary placement location in which a test cell used for testing of manufacturing variation in critical dimension is temporarily placed, and outputs information indicating the overlapping areas and the temporary placement locations.
