ABSTRACT:
A master-slice for semi-custom-made integrated circuit devices includes standard cells arranged in rows and columns, and the standard cells are respectively associated with additional signal drivers; when logical inconsistency takes place between results of a back annotation and results of LSI tests due to time delay during propagation of signal lines, the additional signal drivers are selectively connected to the signal drivers of the standard cells so as to increase the current driving capability, thereby making the results of the LSI tests consistent with the results of the back annotation.
