本文展示了机器学习驱动优化在特定应用氮化镓三栅极FinFET设计中的有效性,用于垂直供电系统。传统TCAD方法计算成本高,难以处理先进GaN器件的高维非线性设计空间。为此,提出一种物理信息主动学习框架,智能引导仿真,加速收敛同时保持精度。该方法通过高效探索关键结构参数(尤其是GaN与AlGaN厚度比),发现最优配置。在单鳍和多通道仿真中,较薄GaN层的器件D2驱动电流更高;但在300鳍配置下,器件D1虽有略高寄生参数,仍以3.3 A电流和0.49 Ω导通电阻表现更优,约提升2倍。两者均为常关模式。基于特定应用性能指标,器件D1达到5 pC·Ω,开关效率为D2的2倍,且均优于工业基准。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

This paper demonstrates the effectiveness of machine learning-driven optimization for designing application-specific GaN tri-gate FinFETs in vertical power delivery systems. Conventional TCAD-based approaches are computationally intensive and insufficient for navigating the high-dimensional, nonlinear design space of advanced GaN devices. To address this, a physics-informed active learning framework is used to intelligently guide simulations, accelerating convergence while preserving accuracy. This ML-guided approach enables the discovery of optimal configurations by efficiently exploring key structural parameters -- most notably the GaN-to-AlGaN thickness ratio -- a long-standing focus of debate in device design. By systematically exploring key structural parameters, two optimized devices with aggressively scaled gate-to-drain lengths are identified. Single-fin, multi-channel simulations show that device~D2, with a thinner GaN channel relative to the AlGaN barrier, achieves higher drive current. However, in a 300-fin configuration, device~D1 outperforms device~D2 by delivering 3.3\,A at 0.49~ohm on-resistance -- approximately 2$\times$ better -- despite slightly higher parasitics. Both devices operate in a normally-off mode. Based on an application-specific figure of merit, device~D1 achieves 5\,pC$\cdot$ohm, demonstrating 2$\times$ greater switching efficiency than device~D2, while both designs outperform industrial benchmarks from different performance standpoints.
