Abstract
A technique for simulating and optimizing the fabrication and design of a physical device is described. The technique includes executing a fabrication simulation of the physical device with a fabrication model that receives a fabrication specification as input and outputs a structural design for the physical device in response to the fabrication simulation. An operational simulation of the physical device is executed with a design model that simulates a field response propagating through a simulated environment of the physical device. The structural design output from the fabrication model is forward cascaded to the design model and an output from backpropagation of a performance loss error through the design model is reverse cascaded to the fabrication model.
