As semiconductor manufacturing advances toward sub-2nm nodes, local place-and-route (P&R) design-rule violation (DRV) fixing is increasingly limited by complex rule interactions, dense multi-layer routing geometries, and foundry-specific constraints. While Large Language Models (…

Design rule check (DRC) closure remains a major bottleneck in advanced-node physical design. Although detailed routers are rule-aware, residual design rule violations (DRVs) often require manual engineering change order iterations. Automating this process is challenging because r…

We present HORIZON, a self-evolving agent framework that treats hardware design as repository-level code evolution. A Markdown harness is compiled into a project pack containing domain knowledge, an executable evaluator, an acceptance predicate, and a git/runtime policy; a hands-…
