Abstract
A design method optimizes the dimensions (length and width) of power supply lines in a semiconductor integrated circuit. First, the power supply lines are analyzed to determine initial values for the lines. Then, a current-capacitance ratio of each of the power supply lines is calculated using the analysis results. Finally, a dimension of each of the poser supply lines is computed so that the corresponding current-capacitance ratio is within a predetermined range. The resulting power supply lines are as narrow as possible without causing a voltage drop violation or a current amount violation.
