Apparatus and method of predicting performance of a semiconductor manufacturing process and device, which reduces simulation resources to predict the performance distribution in the wafer and manufacturing method of a semiconductor device are disclosed. According to one aspect, it is provided a performance prediction apparatus comprising a uniform mesh data generator generating uniform mesh data by dividing a wafer using a uniform mesh to predict an in-plane characteristics distribution of performance in a series of process steps, a non-uniform mesh generator generating a non-uniform mesh by combining element meshes based on the uniform mesh data and predetermined threshold, a common mesh generator generating a common mesh by superimposing the non-uniform meshes and selecting a minimum mesh by region, a common mesh data generator generating common mesh data by representing the performance using the common mesh, and a predicting section predicting a comprehensive performance after processing the series of processes.
