FusionCell: Cross-Attentive Fusion of Layout Geometry and Netlist Topology for Standard-Cell Performance Prediction

arXiv CS.LG

ArXi:2605.20287v1 Announce Type: new Standard cells form the building blocks of digital circuits, so their delay and power critically influence chip-level performance; yet characterization still relies on slow simulation sweeps, and many fast predictors ignore layout geometry, missing coupling and layout-dependent effects. The challenge is to jointly represent layout geometry and netlist topology so models capture fine-grained spatial details together with structural connectivity for accurate performance prediction. We.
