Abstract
A computer program stored on a storage medium for performing wiring condition processing for a semiconductor integrated circuit. The computer program when executed causes a computer to perform the steps of creating layout information to determine a layout of devices on the semiconductor integrated circuit based on logic information describing connections of the devices on the semiconductor integrated circuit, determining a virtual wiring path from the layout information and calculating a wiring delay value based on the virtual wiring path. Other steps performed upon execution of the computer program include upon the calculated wiring delay value of the virtual wiring path exceeding a predetermined reference value, calculating a wiring delay value of the virtual wiring path when a wide wiring line is used at a predetermined usage ratio.
