　　報告摘要:

Artificial intelligence (AI) studies the theory and development of computing systems able to learn, reason, act and adapt. Integrated circuit (ICs), powered by the semiconductor technology, enable all modern computing systems with amazing level of integration, e.g., a small chip (<1cm2) nowadays can integrate billions of transistors. As the semiconductor technology enters the era of extreme scaling (1x nm), the IC design and manufacturing complexities are extremely high. Intelligent cross-layer design and manufacturing co-optimizations are in critical demand for better performance, power, yield, reliability, security, time-to-market, and so on. This talk will discuss the synergistic link between modern AI technologies (e.g., pattern recognition, machine learning, deep learning) with intelligent deep-nanoscale IC design and manufacturing. Several case studies will be presented, including advanced lithography modeling, hotspot detection, mask synthesis, and physical design. Customized AI chips can further improve the training and inference performance-energy efficiency by orders of magnitude. Thus, the co-evolution of AI algorithms and IC technologies shall be investigated jointly to enhance the research and development of each other.
