ABSTRACT:
An element placement system including a placement and routing library that stores element information about logical elements to be placed, placement information containing region information of regions in which logical elements can be placed, and routing information necessary to execute routing, a placement improvement library that stores specified element information about specified logical elements being logical elements specified to place capacitors in the vicinity thereof, a placement unit that places logical elements according to input data containing connection data between logical elements and the placement information stored in the placement and routing library, a placement improvement unit that improves a result of placement by the placement unit by moving logical elements other than specified logical elements stored in the placement improvement library to collect spaces into the vicinity of the specified logical elements, a routing unit that routes logical elements after placement improvement by the placement improvement unit based on the input data, and a capacitor generation unit that places capacitors in the collected spaces.
