Archgen Labs Develops AI Agent To Automate 3D Chip Physical Design

Can AI help chip designers solve complex physical design challenges faster? Archgen Labs is building an AI agent designed to automate parts of semiconductor physical design, from individual dies to 3D chip stacks. Its system analyses design runs, identifies issues and adjusts workflows to address challenges involving timing, congestion and design-rule checks.

Founded by Hariharan Ayappane (CEO) and Naveen Venkat (CTO), the startup has also gained recognition in the Partcl / Hudson River Trading Macro Placement Challenge, where Archgen AI ranked first on the final proxy cost metric. While this is an encouraging benchmark result, production-ready chip designs still require extensive engineering validation and verification.
