Abstract: A semiconductor integrated circuit includes a semiconductor chip body, a plurality of input/output cells arranged on a surface of the semiconductor chip body at parts including a peripheral part and a central part the semiconductor chip body, and at least an internal logic circuit provided on the semiconductor chip body. Each of the input/output cells include a pad and a holding circuit coupled to the pad for holding incoming data. A plurality of holding circuits are coupled in series in a test mode to form a scan path circuit. The input/output cell which has the pad for receiving an external test signal in a test mode is arranged at the peripheral part of the semiconductor chip body, and the test data held in the holding circuit of the input/output cell which is arranged at a part other than the peripheral part of the semiconductor chip body is transferred to the internal logic circuit in the test mode.

Abstract: A semi-custom integrated circuit comprises a basic cell array comprising a plurality of basic cells aligned in a first direction, the basic cells comprising a transistor unit, a capacitor unit and a resistor unit arranged in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The transistor unit is positioned between the capacitor unit and the resistor unit. The transistor unit has a terminal portion for connection of wiring, the capacitor unit having a terminal portion for connection of wiring, the resistor unit having a terminal portion for connection of wiring. The terminal portions of said transistor unit, capacitor unit and resistor unit are aligned along a line.
