Abstract
A method is presented for generating a plurality of physical design layout patterns. The method includes selecting one or more physical design layouts for neural network training, converting the plurality of physical design layout patterns into coordinate arrays, a coordinate array of the coordinate arrays including via center coordinates of vias in a physical design layout pattern of the plurality of physical design layout patterns, training, by employing the coordinate arrays, a variational autoencoder (VAE), and generating one or more new synthetic coordinate arrays by employing the trained VAE, a synthetic coordinate array of the one or more new synthetic coordinate arrays including via center coordinates of vias for a new physical design layout pattern.
