Abstract

A method for layout compaction which comprises steps of establishing storage areas in a direct access memory as a boundary information memory to which geometrical information on boundaries of a layout is written, searching layout elements of groups adjoining the boundaries of the layout and performing a processing of packing layout elements in a bottom boundary region of the layout and of packing layout elements in a top boundary region of the layout by using the boundary information memory. Thereby, a compaction of the layout can be performed at a high speed.
