1. A method, comprising: receiving at least one design library element having a design marker shape associated therewith; applying a yield checking tool having a plurality of library element types each having a yield checking deck threshold and a marker shape to the at least one design library element; comparing the design marker shape of the at least one design library element to each of the marker shapes associated with the plurality of library element types; ascertaining which of the marker shapes associated with the plurality of library element types matches with the design marker shape associated with the at least one design library element; and determining whether the at least one design library element satisfies the yield checking deck threshold associated with the library element type having a marker shape that matches with the design marker shape of the at least one design library element.
