    Abstract: A computer implemented method for determining performance of a semiconductor device is provided. The method includes providing training data comprising input state values and training capacitance values to a neural network executing on a computer system; processing the input state values through the neural network to generate modeled charge values; converting the modeled charge values to modeled capacitance values; determining, by the computer system, whether the training capacitance values of the training data are within a threshold value of the modeled capacitance values utilizing a loss function that omits the modeled charge values; and in response to determining that the training capacitance values of the training data are within the threshold value of the modeled capacitance values, converting, by the computer system, the neural network to a circuit simulation code to generate a converted neural network.

    Abstract: A method for generating a model of a transistor includes: initializing hyper-parameters; training the neural network in accordance with the hyper-parameters and training data relating transistor input state values to transistor output state values to compute neural network parameters; determining whether the transistor output state values of the training data match an output of the neural network; porting the neural network to a circuit simulation code to generate a ported neural network; simulating a test circuit using the ported neural network to simulate behavior of a transistor of the test circuit to generate simulation output; determining whether a turnaround time of the generation of the simulation output is satisfactory; in response to determining that the turnaround time is unsatisfactory, re-training the neural network based on updated hyper-parameters; and in response to determining that the turnaround time is satisfactory, outputting the ported neural network as the model of the transistor.
