Large Language Model for Verilog Code Generation: Literature Review and the Road Ahead

The article reviews the growing use of Large Language Models (LLMs) for generating Verilog code, a key hardware description language in electronic design automation. It surveys 102 papers, covering conferences, journals, and preprints, and addresses four research questions about LLM selection, datasets, techniques, and alignment strategies. The review identifies current limitations and proposes a roadmap for future research in LLM-assisted hardware design.
