arXiv:2606. 00228v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In semiconductor manufacturing, lithography projects circuit layouts onto silicon wafers through an optical mask.
arXiv:2606. 26713v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As semiconductor technology nodes scale, computational lithography is essential for ensuring yield and performance.
arXiv:2604. 23658v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Chip placement plays an important role in physical design.
arXiv:2603. 15925v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Inverse design aims to find design parameters $x$ achieving target performance $y^*$.
arXiv:2606. 11247v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Generative models are increasingly used to propose designs, data, and control actions for physical systems, yet many such systems are governed by hard physical constraints rather than by perceptual plausibility.
arXiv:2601. 23231v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Flow-based generative models provide strong unconditional priors for inverse problems, but guiding their dynamics for conditional generation remains challenging.
arXiv:2608. 11868v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The customization, optimization and stabilization of the process flow of a silicon bipolar phototransistor commits months of cleanroom time before a finished device can be measured, so a model that predicts device gain from process parameters before a run has value out of proportion to its accuracy.
arXiv:2607. 08392v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Amortized neural inverse design typically remains closed-world: component choices are fixed vocabulary tokens, coordinate grids are frozen at training time, and continuous variables are discretized into sequence tokens.
arXiv:2608. 14702v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Film emulation reproduces the look of an analog film stock on a new digital photograph.
arXiv:2602. 07345v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Distribution Matching Distillation (DMD) is a powerful acceleration paradigm, yet its stability is often compromised in Forbidden Zone, regions where the real teacher provides unreliable guidance while the fake teacher exerts insufficient repulsive force.
arXiv:2607. 14652v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Topology optimisation (TO) often requires repeated finite element analysis and sensitivity-based material updates, which can be costly when multiple candidate designs are needed under varying physical and design conditions.
Pixel-space generative models bypass lossy latent compression, yet necessitate joint learning of global structure and fine-grained details in a high-dimensional space. Standard flow matching interpolates noise toward a fixed clean-image endpoint, leaving the spectral evolution to be learned implicitly.
arXiv:2602. 21565v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Generative Flow Networks (GFlowNets) learn to sample diverse candidates in proportion to a reward function, making them well-suited for scientific discovery, where exploring multiple promising solutions is crucial.
