Organisation
The French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA) is a key player in research, development and innovation in four main areas :
• defence and security,
• nuclear energy (fission and fusion),
• technological research for industry,
• fundamental research in the physical sciences and life sciences.
Drawing on its widely acknowledged expertise, and thanks to its 16000 technicians, engineers, researchers and staff, the CEA actively participates in collaborative projects with a large number of academic and industrial partners.
The CEA is established in ten centers spread throughout France

Job description
As the technology fabrication processes improve towards nanometer-scale nodes, it is more and more complex to maintain the performance increase foreseen by Moore Law. To cope with this issue, technology processes provide various enhancing featuresi. More over, elementary components such as logic gates become legion. Providing a relevant design framework thus becomes a huge manual development task. As AI grows, it shows its skill to help decision making and hence components design, shaping a promising candidate to automate design flow. In this PhD subject, you will work on an AI model (LLM) capable of understanding electronic components. The works ultimately aim at developing a generation engine for electronic components.
Throughout this PhD, interdisciplinary research works will encompass a broad spectrum of knowledge around integrated electronics design, spanning microelectronics processes, electronic functions and logic gates implementation, neural networks architectures, large language models and generative AI.
