Abstract: To predict characteristics of a semiconductor device, basic training data corresponding to a combination of input data and simulation result data are generated using a technology computer aided design (TCAD) simulator. The TCAD simulator generates the simulation result data by performing a simulation based on the input data of the TCAD simulator such that the simulation result data indicates characteristics of semiconductor devices corresponding to the input data of the TCAD simulator. A deep learning model is trained based on the basic training data such that the deep learning model is configured to output prediction data indicating the characteristics of the semiconductor devices. Target prediction data is generated based on the deep learning model and input data corresponding to the target semiconductor product such that the target prediction data indicates the characteristics of the semiconductor device included in the target semiconductor product.

Abstract: To generate a deep learning model, basic training data corresponding to a combination of device data and simulation result data is generated using a compact model that generates the simulation result data indicating characteristics of a semiconductor device corresponding to the device data by performing simulation based on the device data. A deep learning model is trained based on the basic training data such that the deep learning model outputs prediction data indicating the characteristics of the semiconductor device and uncertainty data indicating uncertainty of the prediction data. The deep learning model is retrained based on the uncertainty data. The deep learning model may precisely predict the characteristics of the semiconductor device by training the deep learning model to output the prediction data and the uncertainty data and retraining the deep learning model based on the uncertainty data.

Abstract: Measurement data are produced by measuring characteristics of a semiconductor device. Target parameters are selected among a plurality of parameters of a device model where the device model is configured to perform a simulation based on device data and output simulation result data indicating the characteristics of the semiconductor device. Initial value sets corresponding to different combinations of initial values of the target parameters are selected. Local minimum values are determined based on reinforcement learning. Each local minimum value corresponds to a minimum value of a difference between the measurement data and the simulation result data with respect to each initial value set. Optimal values of the target parameters are determined based on the plurality of local minimum values. The device model capable of precisely predicting characteristics of the semiconductor device is generated by determining the parameters of the device model using the optimization scheme based on the reinforcement learning.
