Techniques for determining and using static regions in an inverse design process

Abstract

In some embodiments, logic stored on a computer-readable medium, in response to execution, causes a computing system to conduct an inverse design process to generate a plurality of segmented designs corresponding to a plurality of device specifications, determine at least one highly impactful design area based on the plurality of segmented designs; and designate the at least one highly impactful design area as a static design area. In some embodiments, a product line comprising a plurality of physical devices is provided. Each physical device of the plurality of physical devices includes a design region that includes a static design area and a customized design area. The static design area for each physical device is the same for each physical device of the plurality of physical devices, and the customized design area for each physical device is different for each physical device of the plurality of physical devices.
