Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a circuit design flow process which works properly with a large-scale ASIC chip design. SOLUTION: The circuit design flow process includes generating a netlist of a mapped gate level, generating netlist of the gate level through stages of a test facilitation design (DFT (design-for-test)) and a clock tree construction, using the netlist generated as a result. Accordingly, reproducibility is guaranteed, by laying an important electrical infrastructure on an integrated circuit (IC), in advance, and use of the netlist generated as a result is also included.
