Abstract Techniques for improving circuit design and production are provided. In one aspect, a method for virtual fabrication of a process-sensitive circuit is provided. The method comprises the following steps. Based on a physical layout diagram of the circuit, a virtual representation of the fabricated circuit is obtained that accounts for one or more variations that can occur during a circuit production process. A quality-based metric is used to project a production yield for the virtual representation of the fabricated circuit. The physical layout diagram and/or the production process are modified. The obtaining, using and modifying steps are repeated until a desired projected production yield is attained.
