A system and a method for qualifying a logic cell library storing process
parameters and properties of a specific semiconductor FAB when the logic
cell library is newly developed or modified is provided. The system for
qualifying a logic cell library which qualifies a new library and a
modified library, includes a format transformer for transforming formats
of the new library and the modified library into formats suitable for a
predetermined qualifier, a sample generator for creating a qualification
cell sample capable of qualifying all cells by using cells of the new or
modified library having a transformed format, a cell matching tool for
performing a one-to-one cell comparison between cells of the new library
and cells of an existing library, a function qualifier for determining
whether or not a right value is output with respect to an input value in
order to qualify a cell function of the new or modified library, a
processing rate qualifier for measuring a time required from signal input
to signal output in order to qualify a cell processing rate of the new or
modified library, a power consumption qualifier for measuring power
consumed during a process of a cell of the new or modified library, and
an inter-qualifier for determining whether or not logical design
information and physical design information of the new or modified
library suitably corresponds to each other.
