2021 conference paper

Fast and Accurate PPA Modeling with Transfer Learning

2021 IEEE/ACM International Conference On Computer Aided Design (ICCAD). Presented at the 2021 IEEE/ACM International Conference On Computer Aided Design (ICCAD), Munich, Germany.

By: W. Davis n, P. Franzon n, L. Francisco n, B. Huggins n & R. Jain*

Event: 2021 IEEE/ACM International Conference On Computer Aided Design (ICCAD) at Munich, Germany on November 1-4, 2021

author keywords: PPA; Machine Learning; Power; Performance; Area; Gradient Boost; Neural Network; Transfer Learning; Surrogate Modeling
TL;DR: The approach reached the same PPA solution as human designers in the same or fewer runs for a CORTEX-M0 system design, showing potential for automating the recipe optimization without needing more runs than a human designer would need. (via Semantic Scholar)

Multilayer CMP Hotspot Modeling Through Deep Learning

DESIGN-PROCESS-TECHNOLOGY CO-OPTIMIZATION FOR MANUFACTURABILITY XIII, Vol. 10962.

By: L. Francisco n, R. Mao*, U. Katakamsetty*, P. Verma* & R. Pack*

author keywords: CMP; Machine Learning; DFM; Advanced Lithography; Depth of Focus; CMP hotspots; Chip Topography
TL;DR: A Deep Learning (DL) multilayer convolutional neural network (CNN) algorithm is used to model CMP hotspots for full-chip multilayers layouts enabling modeling and prediction of hotspots resulting from complex inter-layer interactions or effects which may escape traditional methods.
