TOPCELL: Topology Optimization of Standard Cell via LLMs

arXiv CS.LGΒ·April 17, 2026

TOPCELL is a novel framework that uses Large Language Models (LLMs) to optimize transistor topology in standard cell design, overcoming the limitations of traditional exhaustive search methods. By reformulating topology exploration as a generative task and employing GRPO for fine-tuning, it significantly improves the discovery of routable and physically-aware layouts for advanced technology nodes.
