Physics-Informed Neural Operator for Warm-Starting Background-Decomposed and Preconditioned PSFD: Enabling Scalable 3-D EUV Mask Simulation

תקציר מקורי באנגליתarXiv:2607.25330v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We present a physics-informed neural operator (PINO) trained with pseudo-spectral frequency-domain (PSFD) equations for electromagnetic (EM) scattering problems in EUV lithography. The Fourier neural operator is factorized into a two-dimensional lateral ($xy$) branch and a one-dimensional axial ($z$) branch and is trained self-consistently with background decomposition.Thus, the full-vector coupling between the mask and the multilayer response is retained without invoking a finite-order Born approximation. In this way, the computational domain size is significantly reduced, thereby lowering the computational cost. The PINO is trained on approximately 16,000 mask designs from the LithoBench library sampled randomly at each training iteration
