Abstract

To design an integrated circuit, input data defining an integrated circuit are received, and a plurality of load standard cells having different delay characteristics are provided in a standard cell library. Placement and routing are performed based on the input data and the standard cell library and output data defining the integrated circuit are generated based on a result of the placement and the routing. Design efficiency and performance of the integrated circuit are enhanced by designing the integrated circuit with delay matching and duty ratio adjustment using the load standard cell.
