To address the problem, we propose a deep learning-based layout novelty detection scheme to identify novel (unseen) layout patterns, which cannot be well predicted by a pre-trained pre-simulation model.

Experimental results on benchmark circuits show that our approach achieves 25% improvement in design quality or 37% reduction in sampling cost compared to random forest method, which is the kernel of a highly cited previous work.

By learning the shape correspondences between pairs of layout design patterns and their scanning electron microscope (SEM) images of the product wafer thereof, given an IC layout pattern, LithoNet can mimic the fabrication process to predict its fabricated circuit shape.
