Abstract
A design method for a semiconductor integrated circuit device wherein for a path having a signal arrival time longer than a desired signal arrival time, and among multiple paths in the semiconductor integrated circuit device, a path isolation is performed so that a number of other components to be connected to the output of a component belonging to the path decreases. The design method can be integrated into an automatic design flow using a legacy electronic design automation tool.
