Title: Toward AI-Assisted Analog and RF IC Design Automation

Abstract: LLMs have advanced rapidly over the past three years, with frontier systems now supporting trillion-scale parameter counts, million-token context windows, multimodal inputs/outputs, stronger reasoning, coding, computer use, and agentic workflows. At the same time, the way we work with LLMs has shifted accordingly, from prompt engineering to context engineering, and more recently to harness engineering. These advances and paradigm shifts have enabled many great successes in “AI for X,” especially in coding. This talk will present our group’s recent progress toward integrating LLMs into analog and RF IC design, a field that has conventionally remained manual, time-consuming, and dependent on deep domain expertise. We will discuss what today’s AI systems can do, where they still fail, and which directions appear most promising for analog and RF IC design automation. I will also cover AI techniques beyond LLMs that enable fast design-space exploration and performance optimization.

Bio: Taiyun Chi leads the Rice Integrated Systems and Electromagnetics (RISE) Lab, focusing on analog/RF/mmWave circuits and micro-systems design for wireless communication and neuro-engineering applications. Since joining Rice in 2019, his group has received multiple Best Paper awards and nominations, including the IEEE International Solid-State Circuits Conference (ISSCC) Lewis Winner Outstanding Paper Award in 2025 and 2024, the IEEE International Microwave Symposium (IMS) Advanced Practice Paper Award Finalist in 2024 and 2021, the IEEE RFIC Symposium Industry Paper Award Finalist in 2023, the IEEE RFIC Symposium Best Student Paper Award Finalist in 2022, and the IEEE Custom Integrated Circuits Conference (CICC) Best Student Paper Award in 2021. He was a recipient of the NSF

Title: Modern Methods for Component Measurements using Vector Network Analyzers

Abstract: Modern Vector Network Analyzers (VNA) have flexible hardware and software with much higher performance than VNAs of even a few years ago. There are a wide range of measurement applications, beyond simple S-parameters, that a VNA can address, and with precision that cannot be achieved by other test methods. VNAs now act as a multi-functional test system, providing an extremely wide range of device- and signal-characterization capabilities including noise figure, gain-compression, true-mode differ

ential device characterization, two-tone Inter-Modulation Distortion (IMD), phase-noise, mixer and frequency converter gain/phase/delay measurements. Very recently Vector Spectrum Analysis (VSA) capabilities have been added, including measurements of complex modulated signals such as Error Vector Magnitude (EVM), Adjacent Channel Power Ratio (ACPR) and characteristics of Digital Pre-Distortion (DPD). These capabilities, when properly configured, provide the most precise measurements of high-frequency mm-wave and sub-THz modulated signals, beyond the capabilities of stand-alone measurement instruments, as was demonstrated using 20 GHz bandwidth modulated signals at 250 GHz. This lecture illuminated the methods and capabilities for these advanced measurement methods for characterizing microwave components.

講演会終了後、Dr. Dunsmore を囲んで懇親会を開催し、親睦を深めるとともに活発な意見交換の場を持ちました。

Title: AI-Assisted for Radio-Frequency Integrated Circuits at ETH Zurich

Abstract: In recent years, as AI for Science is gaining increasing momentum, there are rapidly growing interest in applying AI tools to facilitate RFIC designs or explore new design spaces. In this seminar talk, I will present a few on-going AI4RF projects at my IDEAS group at ETH Zurich. We will start with our project of AI-assisted template-seeded pixelated design for multi-metal-layer EM structures, which explores a new approach for efficient exploration and exploitation of the design space. Next, we will introduce our transfer learning assisted fast design migration, which potentially enables efficient design migrations over technology nodes and operating frequencies. Finally, we will present out project on top-metal-only RFIC redesigns for fast specs-to-silicon iteration enabled by AI-assisted inverse design. Finally, we will discuss challenges and future directions.

Title: AI for Chips & Chips for AI

Abstract: The exploding scale of modern applications is stretching yesterday’s integrated-circuit (IC) design flows beyond their limits. This talk presents a unified, open, and highly-automated paradigm—AI for Chips & Chips for AI—that simultaneously (i) harnesses artificial intelligence in EDA to build better silicon and (ii) architects silicon that runs AI better.

AI for Chips - Traditional analog layout still relies on expert heuristics. We introduce Agentic-RL gLayout, a goal-conditioned reinforcement-learning agent that replaces hand-tuned placement and routing with policy-driven planning, action, and self-correction. The agent ingests high-level objectives, observes the evolving layout state, and chooses between primitive commands and high-level macros. Positive rewards track goal attainment; penalties capture DRC violations, area bloat, and parasitics, producing cleaner, compact, and rule-compliant layouts without manual intervention. Built atop open-source engines such as OpenROAD, Open Se Cura, and OpenFASoC, the framework pushes layout quality while democratizing access to sophisticated analog design automation. Chips for AI - Conversely, deploying large language model (LLM) workloads at the edge demands silicon tuned for extreme efficiency. We unveil a hardware–software co-design stack centered on ConSmax, a highly parallel, element-wise alternative to Softmax that slashes latency and energy. By co-optimizing network topology, arithmetic precision, and accelerator micro-architecture, the framework meets sub-millisecond deadlines, preserves privacy, and cuts cloud dependence.

Finally, this talk will walk through an open chip design infrastructure augmented with LLM-guided code, circuit, and layout generation that turns hardware creation into a rapid feedback loop, where AI sharpens the EDA tools, while tailored accelerators speed up AI. Closing the “AI-for-chips, chips-for-AI” cycle should make taping-out test chips possible in weeks instead of years, thus propelling the next wave of semiconductor innovation.
