Embodiments of the present invention are a system, a computer program product, and a method for implementing an integrated circuit design. The method for implementing an integrated circuit design includes accessing an original electronic representation of an integrated circuit layout from a first user file, and accessing a defined sensitivity index that characterizes an impact of the dummy pattern on the functional component. The impact of the dummy pattern on the functional component is analyzed and it is determined whether the impact is within a limit of the sensitivity index. One of a plurality of features of the dummy pattern is adjusted if the impact is not within the limit to form a generated electronic representation of a modified integrated circuit layout, and the generated electronic representation is output to a second user file. The integrated circuit layout includes a dummy pattern and a functional component.
