Abstract :
This paper describes a new formulation of the full EM representation and optimization of passive devices based on neural networks. The proposed models allow dynamic geometric parameter based design and are applied to circuit optimization. To illustrate our method, a decoupling capacitor and a power plane used in an amplifier example, are placed efficiently with respect to the voltage source and other components connected to it using EM based optimization to reduce the maximum amount of power source noise.
