Abstract:

The continuous shrinking of feature sizes for very large scale integrated (VLSI) circuits with advanced lithography has been a holy grail for the semiconductor industry to achieve ever-higher device density and performance with reduced cost per transistor. However, the aggressive scaling has been facing severe challenges due to lithography variations. In this talk, I will introduce our recent series of works on lithography hotspot detection, where feature optimization, online learning, as well as deep learning techniques are developed. At the end of this talk, I will also briefly introduce HK PhD fellowship summer workshop 2017.
