A system, method and program product for predicting yield of a VLSI design. A method is provided including the steps of: identifying and grouping sub-circuits contained within an integrated circuit design by type; calculating critical area values for regions within the integrated circuit design; and applying different yield models to critical area values based on the types of the regions used to calculate the critical area values, wherein each yield model is dependent on a type.

Method, system and program product for determining a critical area in a region of an integrated circuit layout using Voronoi diagrams and shape biasing. The method includes the steps of generating a biased Voronoi diagram based on a layout geometry of the region and incorporating a shape bias; and determining the critical area for the region using the biased Voronoi diagram.
