Abstract
A verification support apparatus for an integrated circuit. The apparatus includes; a combination acquisition unit configured to acquire different combinations of a variable value regarding variation in an integrated circuit manufacturing process and a performance value obtained from a simulation of a circuit; a function acquisition unit configured to acquire a functional relationship from which a performance value of a circuit is obtained by giving a parameter value; a difference calculation unit configured to calculate a difference between the performance value obtained by the functional relationship and the performance value included in the combination; an expected value calculation unit configured to determine a probability based on random numbers and execute a calculation process in which an expected value of the difference is calculated based on the determined probability and the difference calculated by the difference calculation unit a predetermined number of times; and a goodness of fit calculation unit configured to calculate a goodness of fit (GF) between the simulation and the functional relationship.
