ABSTRACT:
A semiconductor layout design apparatus has an inter-block connection information extracting part, a block global placement part and a cell placement setting part. The inter-block connection information extracting part configured to extract the number of wiring connections between a plurality of blocks including standard cells and macrocells based on a net list, library information, floor plan information and technology information. The block global placement part configured to roughly place the plurality of blocks in a placement region on a semiconductor substrate. The cell placement setting part configured to set placement positions of the macrocells in the block based on a positioning relationship with the other block and the number of the wiring connections with the other block with respect to each of the plurality of blocks roughly placed by the block global placement part.
