摘要

As a method of designing a semiconductor chip, at a boundary where the number of effective chips changes, at least three or more lattice points of the chip lattice intersect the outer periphery of the effective area of the wafer, and the wafer is placed inside a triangle connecting the three lattice points. Utilizing the feature of including the center, candidate solutions having a change in the number of effective chips are obtained by an analytical method, and a suitable solution is derived using the candidate solutions.
