Abstract
A design assisting apparatus includes a memory configured to store routing information representing first wire line from wire lines of a module belonging to a first layer of a semiconductor circuit having a plurality of layers, the first wire line likely to become either one of an aggressor net and a victim net in a crosstalk noise check performed on wire lines of a module belonging to a second layer hierarchically higher than the first layer, and a processor configured to perform a wire line identifying operation identifying second wire line within the module belonging to the second layer, and likely to become either one of an aggressor net and a victim net in the crosstalk noise check performed on the first wire line represented by the routing information stored on the memory.
