Abstract

An inductor recognition method for recognizing an inductor, a layout inspection method wherein it is possible to automatically carry out a verification of a design standard, in the inductor and a process for a semiconductor device using this layout inspection method are provided. The inductor recognition method includes the step of arranging an inductor position representation mark so as to surround a design pattern of an interconnection part, which works as an inductor and has a starting point and a finishing point; the step of arranging a starting point position representation mark and a finishing point position representation mark so as to surround, respectively, regions corresponding to the starting point and the finishing point; and the step of recognizing information with respect to an inductor by means of the inductor position representation mark, the starting point position representation mark and the finishing point position representation mark.
