An EDA method is implemented for modifying a layout file after place and route. The method includes storing a library of shape modifications for cells in the design library used for implementation of the circuit. The library of shape modifications includes the results of process-specific calibration of the shape modifications which indicate adjustment of a circuit parameter caused by applying the shape modifications to the cells. The layout file is analyzed to identify a cell for adjustment of the circuit parameter. A shape modification calibrated to achieve the desired adjustment is selected from the library. The shape modification is applied to the identified cell in the layout file to produce a modified layout file. The modified layout file can be used for tape out, and subsequently for manufacturing of an improved integrated circuit.
