Abstract
A semiconductor device design method includes extracting voltage data associated with at least one electrical component in a layout of a semiconductor device and based on a result of a simulation of an operation of the semiconductor device. Based on location data of the at least one electrical component, the extracted voltage data is incorporated in the layout to generate a modified layout of the semiconductor device. One or more operations of the method are performed by at least one processor.
