Using Graph Attention Network to Reversely Design GaN MIS-HEMTs Based on Hand-Drawn Characteristics

In this work, the methodology using Graph Attention Network (GAT) for the reserve design in GaN power MIS-HEMTs based on hand-drawn characteristics is demonstrated for the first-time. The hand-drawn I
_D
-V
_G
characteristic is constructed by Ramer-Douglas-Peucker algorithm. Then, the extracted information is sent to the Graph Attention Network to receive the corresponding device design variables, including t
_AlGaN
, recessed depth, Al%, L
_g
, L
_gd
, and L
_gs
. Less than 30 seconds is consumed to generate the design variables and less than 8% of the differences in the key extracted parameters, such as threshold voltage (V
_th
), On-state current (I
_on
), and subthreshold slope (SS), can be achieved by comparing hand-drawn I
_D
-V
_G
and simulated I
_D
-V
_G
characteristic based on the design variables from GAT model. Therefore, the developed GAT approach is promising for the reverse design of GaN power MIS-HEMTs, which can provide users with efficient and valuable design suggestions to optimize the devices toward the targeting performance.
