Abstract
A method for designing a semiconductor integrated circuit includes: determining, by a designing device, first wirings over which signals are propagated and second wirings which are not used for propagation of the signals among a plurality of wirings of a semiconductor integrated circuit; and determining, by the designing device, from among the second wirings, third wirings to be used for storing electrical charges for electrical charge recycling of the first wirings for a most number of the first wirings in a range that satisfies a timing constraint based on operation rates of the signals propagated over the first wirings and delay times of the first wirings.
