Mesh-Native Physics-Informed Graph Surrogates for TCAD-in-the-Loop Design Space Exploration

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.

Linearized PINN with pretrained nonlinear layers

The paper introduces a linearized Physics-Informed Neural Network (lPINN), a reduced‑order neural basis approach for solving forward and inverse differential equations. In an offline phase, lPINN learns continuous, differentiable neural basis functions from numerical solutions, which are then frozen for new problem instances; the online solution is obtained by minimizing the governing‑equation residual with additional constraints. Experiments on advection‑diffusion, Burgers', and nonlinear pendulum equations show that lPINN achieves lower solution and parameter errors than vanilla PINNs while reducing online inference times by up to three orders of magnitude, and its continuous representation generalizes to finer meshes without retraining.
