Abstract

See full text

A method for designing a layout of a semiconductor integrated circuit device includes placing a plurality of standard cells respectively constituting a plurality of functional blocks in a part of a logic circuit placement region, placing a plurality of basic cells in a part of regions of the logic circuit placement region in which no standard cells are placed, and placing at least one diode cell in at least a part of regions of the logic circuit placement region in which no standard cells and no basic cells are placed, the diode cell including a first and a second diode, the first diode being connected between a gate electrode of a predetermined transistor and a first power supply line and the second diode between the gate electrode and a second power supply line.
