Abstract
A layout-data generation equipment includes a logic circuit designing section which designs a logic circuit based on information of the specifications of a semiconductor integrated circuit, a layout-data generation section which creates layout-data based on the logic circuit, a resistance information extraction section which extracts resistance information of a wire from the layout-data, a circuit simulation execution section which executes a circuit simulation, an identification section of current direction which identifies a direction of a current in the wire based on the resistance information of a wire and an execution result of the circuit simulation, a verification section which verifies whether layout-data of the wire breaks a design rule, the design rule being extracted from the information of the specifications of a semiconductor integrated circuit and the verification section generates this verification result, and a data output section which outputs the layout-data.
