摘要

Gaussian Process Regression has emerged as a state-of-the-art machine learning approach, offering significant potential for reducing testing costs in large-scale integrated circuits (LSIs) while maintaining high-quality standards. This study focuses on wafer-level characteristic estimation, which measures a small subset of LSI circuits and estimates the characteristics of unmeasured ones. Additionally, it investigates delay information estimation of field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) using ring oscillators (ROs) in look-up tables (LUTs). A key novelty of this work lies in addressing the critical challenge of kernel function selection, an essential factor in applying Gaussian Process Regression to LSI testing and FPGA delay prediction. Through experimental analysis on mass-produced LSI industrial production data and actual measured silicon data, this research evaluates proposed custom-adaptive kernel functions to identify optimal configurations. The findings reveal that, although hybrid and composite kernel architectures integrating multiple high-accuracy kernels outperform individual kernels in terms of accuracy, they are not consistent across different platforms. The proposed custom-adaptive kernel consistently delivers improved prediction accuracy across multiple platforms, as demonstrated using industrial production data and actual measured silicon data.
