This is necessary when the general rule for connecting the lead frame and the pad in the semiconductor integrated circuit, that is, the order relation between the position of the pad and the corresponding lead frame and the position of the lead frame facing the pad are known. The length of the connecting line and the like are stored in advance in the second frame 12. When the semiconductor integrated circuit can be designed and its wiring drawing is obtained, at the same time, the wiring drawing data is stored in the first file 11 as a set of straight lines. The data should be put together for each group of pads, lead frames and connecting wires.

Next, the data stored in the first file 11 is processed by the data processor 13 with reference to the connection rule stored in the second file 12. That is, the connection between the pad and the lead frame by a predetermined connection line is generated as the wiring connection information. For example, the sequential connection is converted into data based on the order relation of the connection. In this process, an error will occur if the angle of the connecting wire becomes too large or too small from the standard value depending on the length of the lead frame and the pad, the distance between the adjacent connecting wires, and the bonding position. Display or store in data file. In this way, the wiring connection information is accurately and automatically generated without the need for human visual inspection.

[Embodiment] A pad, a connecting wire, and a lead frame are each given a sequence number on the basis of a wiring drawing, and at least four sets of "starting point coordinates, ending point coordinates, and a line segment connecting them" are aligned to form a square. Get the information that forms the frame of. Judging from the wiring diagram, the pad and the lead frame are roughly classified according to the size, and the start point coordinates and the end point coordinates of the connection line are determined. They are stored in the first file 11. It is most appropriate for the designer of the LSI who created the wiring drawing to store the data in the file 11 in order to reduce errors as much as possible.

As the data in the second file 12, general connection rules are stored. As the wiring connection information, if the distance between the pad and the lead frame is known when the wiring diagram is viewed, the limit value of the length of the required connection line can be empirically obtained. Therefore, an error occurs when a value exceeding the limit value occurs in the required length of the connection line in the wiring connection information.

In addition, when the length of the connection line is close to the limit value in the wiring connection information, the angle between the connection line and the pad lead frame may be too large or too small. In the wiring diagram, it is assumed that both the pad and lead frame are vertically above and below the normal allowable range, and if the angle between the pad and the lead frame is not within the range of 45 ° ± 10 °, the second file Stored in 12. In addition, even if the adjacent connecting line has no problem in the drawing, the data file 11
In the above case, the minimum specified value may be stored in the second file 12 because it may be less than the specified value.

The data processing by the data processing device is performed on the data in the first file 11 by, for example, "connecting to a predetermined lead frame on the chip in order from the third and subsequent pads of the corresponding side pads". A process for obtaining connection information is started by a different processing command. As a result, as shown in FIG. 5, the connection information between the pad and the lead frame is obtained and stored in the third file 13.

Next, FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a specific example of the error display 15. The first line in FIG. 2 shows that the connection line 10 connects the No. 1 pad and the No. 10 lead frame, and there is an error in the incident angle. Similarly, the second line below
The connecting line 23 connects the No. 10 pad and the No. 15 lead frame and indicates that there is an error in the incident angle. Third

As a next example, when a wiring drawing is obtained, potential information is set for each pad and lead frame such as DC potential "H", ground potential "L", and AC signal application. . Therefore, the electric potential information is added to a predetermined position of the information of the pad and the lead frame, and the data file 11 is obtained and placed. When the data processing device 13 obtains the connection information, the potential information at both ends of each connection line should be equal, so that the "potential information" can be used as an information check at the time of connection. By this means, the electrical connection is checked, and the reliability can be greatly improved.

As described above, according to the present invention, when the wiring connection information between the pad and the lead frame is generated, it is not automatically performed by human eyes as in the prior art, but is automatically generated by the data processing device. It will be possible. Therefore, the accuracy can be improved as compared with the conventional method so that the wiring drawing creator works. In addition, the processing speed can be increased.
If "potential information" is added to the file originally obtained from the wiring diagram, error checking can be performed more accurately when the connection information is generated.
