The invention relates to a design system of logic products, which includes
a time-consuming detailed simulation part and a fast whole-product
simulation part. Two new parameters Ac and n are added to a delay library
of the fast whole-product simulation part for the purpose of hot carrier
degradation calculations (Degradation=Act.sup.n) (wherein n is a slope of
time dependence and depends on a bias voltage that the circuit
configuration and cells receive, and Ac depends on the bias voltage that
the circuit configuration and cells receive). Thereby, it is feasible to
carry out optimization of the design by a fast whole-product simulation
part without crossing the time-consuming detailed simulation part.
