Original Abstract Submitted
Various embodiments are directed towards techniques for automatically generating standard cell layouts. In various embodiments, those techniques include processing a netlist graph to generate a plurality of graph embeddings, processing the plurality graph embedding via a transformer model to generate a plurality of device component embeddings, generating a page rank value for each device included in the netlist graph based on the plurality of device component embeddings, performing one or more clustering operations on the page rank values to generate a plurality of device clusters, and performing one or more standard cell synthesis operations using labels for the plurality of device clusters to generate at least one standard cell layout for the netlist graph.
