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.
