Researchers have developed PCGD, a novel Physics-Guided Conditional Graph Diffusion framework designed for TCAD device simulation. This method operates directly on unstructured TCAD meshes to predict coupled electrostatic and carrier density fields, overcoming the high computational costs of traditional methods. PCGD integrates a Condition-Aware MeshGraphNet denoiser with a physics-guided hybrid objective, progressively enforcing physical constraints through iterative diffusion. The framework achieves a sub-percent mean relative field error on a challenging benchmark, significantly outperforming existing regression and diffusion baselines, while also demonstrating robust transferability to unseen topologies with reduced data and parameters.
