三维集成电路(3D IC)作为突破二维设计扩展瓶颈的方案,具备更高集成度、更短互连和更优性能。随着设计复杂度上升,有效的空间规划对减少空隙、保障版图质量至关重要。本研究探索使用大语言模型(LLMs)通过后序分割树表示法进行3D IC空间规划,该方法保证布局合法性并力求最小化空隙。开源LLM在大规模合成数据集上微调,并在基于MCNC的3D基准测试集上评估。实验结果表明,所提框架在运行效率、布局合法性与空隙减少之间取得良好平衡,在合理运行时间内多数测试案例实现了零空隙布局。该方法在ami33、ami49等真实基准上也展现泛化能力,尽管大型不规则实例仍具挑战。此外,方法在物流与3D物体放置等跨领域任务中亦具潜力。总体而言,基于大模型的空间规划可作为传统电子设计自动化(EDA)的补充,为可扩展3D布局生成提供新思路。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Three-dimensional integrated circuits (3D ICs) have emerged as a promising solution to the scaling limits of two-dimensional designs, offering higher integration density, shorter interconnects, and improved performance. As design complexity increases, effective space planning becomes essential to reduce dead space and ensure layout quality. This study investigates the use of large language models (LLMs) for 3D IC space planning through a post-order slicing tree representation, which guarantees legal space plans while aiming to minimize dead space. Open-source LLMs were fine-tuned on large-scale synthetic datasets and further evaluated on MCNC-derived 3D benchmarks. Experimental results indicate that the proposed framework achieves a favorable balance between runtime efficiency, legality, and dead-space reduction, with zero-dead-space layouts obtained in a significant portion of test cases under practical runtime budgets. Beyond synthetic benchmarks, the method generalizes to MCNC cases such as ami33 and ami49, though larger and irregular instances remain challenging. The approach also shows potential for cross-domain applications, including logistics and 3D object placement, where spatial efficiency is critical. Overall, the results suggest that LLM-based space planning can serve as a data-driven complement to traditional electronic design automation (EDA) methods, providing new insights for scalable 3D layout generation.
