To address this, we propose an active learning approach. Its efficiency is demonstrated through a Deep Neural Network (DNN) based Laterally Diffused Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field-effect Transistor (LDMOSFET) off-state breakdown voltage (BV<inf>DS,off</inf>) and specific on-resistance (R<inf>sp</inf>) predictor. Our results show the possibility of ∼50% reduction in the training dataset size without compromising the baseline accuracy. Specifically, we compared eight sampling techniques and found that Informative-Query by Committee (I-QBC) and Diverse Informative-Greedy Sampling (DI-GS) techniques work best with ∼1.87% Euclidean Norm of Prediction Error (ENPE).falseActive learning | Deep Neural Networks | LDMOSFET | Off-state breakdown voltage | Specific on resistanceSurrogate models for device design using sample-efficient Deep LearningArticleJanuary 20234108505arJournal4
