Abstract
An LSI element placement method of placing elements in accordance with an order in which branches are arranged, each branch being constituted by an element array included in a circuit diagram having first and second terminals, the method including a partial circuit extraction step of sequentially extracting data of a predetermined number of branches included in the circuit diagram from the first terminal side of the circuit diagram so as to overlap the data by a predetermined number, and an element placement step of performing an element placement operation based on a genetic algorithm in the extracted partial circuit data, thereby generating an element placement result including placement coordinate data of all elements included in the partial circuit data.
