A new paper explores the integration of AI, including machine learning and large language models (LLMs), with Technology Computer-Aided Design (TCAD) for semiconductor device design and defect discovery. The research demonstrates how simulation-augmented ML can achieve device engineer-level performance with minimal domain expertise, using auto-encoder models and noise engineering to learn latent physics from TCAD data. The paper details applications such as inverse-engineering diode characteristics, predicting transistor behavior, and automatically calibrating TCAD parameters, while also envisioning the future role of LLMs and multimodal LLMs in automating device design and defect analysis.
