Neural networks speed up transistor modeling for chip design

Researchers have developed neural network (NN)-based transistor models that significantly accelerate SPICE simulations for chip design. These models accurately predict drain current and charges for a 3nm nanosheet, demonstrating their viability as an alternative to industry-standard BSIM-CMG models. The NN-based approach achieved up to 8 times faster standard cell library characterization with sub-0.11% error for delay and 0.76% for total power evaluation across various circuits. AI

IMPACT Accelerates chip design simulations, potentially reducing time-to-market for new hardware.
