Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati researchers have made significant advancements with the development of an innovative machine learning (ML) framework named ‘LEAP’.

This cutting-edge solution enhances the design process of Integrated Circuits (ICs), a critical component in the $600 billion semiconductor industry that powers modern electronic devices.

Why this development?

The creation of ICs relies heavily software, which transforms high-level designs into a manufacturing format known as Graphic Design System (GDS). However, designing ICs involves navigating complex problems that can be challenging to solve.

Traditional methods often use techniques—quick problem-solving strategies that find acceptable solutions without necessarily achieving perfection. While these approaches help balance design quality and runtime, they often yield less-than-ideal results.

To address these challenges, IIT Guwahati have leveraged machine learning to improve efficiency in IC design.
