An integrated circuit (IC) design system and method provide an optimization of a layout of an integrated circuit wherein an assessment is taken into account of the circuit performance characteristics and the layout of the IC design. The system and method assess associated circuit performance characteristics, each as a cost function of a local pattern of shapes in an initial circuit layout, aggregate cost functions of the associated circuit performance characteristics to derive an integral performance number associated to the initial global circuit layout, perturb the integral performance number by varying the global circuit layout, and select perturbations that optimize the performance number, so as to optimize the global circuit layout. Assessment is taken into account of the circuit performance characteristics based on the layout and the interdependence of the circuit performance characteristics for the IC design. The physical process related effects such as well proximity effect and stress/strain engineering and/or performance parameters such as the P-N transistor size ratio are taken into account to achieve optimization.
