The paper introduces a physics‑informed graph attention network that directly operates on the tetrahedral mesh used in TCAD simulations of FinFET devices. By predicting electrostatic potential and quasi‑Fermi levels at every mesh node and training with both data loss and finite‑volume current‑continuity residuals, the surrogate retains the underlying carrier‑transport physics while achieving size generalization. Benchmarks against Sentaurus Device show sub‑volt RMSE for the drift‑diffusion fields and a per‑design throughput that is orders of magnitude faster, enabling rapid Pareto‑front exploration of large multi‑fin arrays that would otherwise be prohibitively slow to simulate.

The paper introduces a reinforcement‑learning framework that automatically discovers compact parametrized quantum circuits for modeling power GaN HEMTs and logic nanowire FETs. Using a graph neural network policy trained with proximal policy optimization, the method optimizes circuit architectures based on leave‑one‑group‑out cross‑validation error, achieving the lowest mean absolute error across 11 targets compared to six classical baselines. The results show significant reductions in error and variability for key device metrics (Ioff, VTH, SS) on both HEMT and NWFET datasets, demonstrating the viability of RL‑selected quantum circuits as compact, physically consistent surrogates without explicit physical constraints.
