Method and system are disclosed for designing a circuit using an integrated sizing, layout, and extractor tool. In one embodiment, a method for designing a circuit including initializing a set of design points, where a design point comprises a design of the circuit that meets a set of predefined design specifications, determining sizes for the circuit using a size optimization iteration process, and pausing the sizing optimization iteration process periodically for updating parasitic information of the circuit. The method further includes selecting a subset of design points from the set of design points, generating a layout of the circuit using devices sizes obtained from the set of design points, generating an extracted netlist using the layout, wherein the extracted netlist includes parasitic information of the circuit, and simulating the circuit using the extracted netlist to verify the set of predefined design specifications are met.
