Recent studies have proposed reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) methods that enable LLMs to generate high-quality RTL circuits from natural-language specifications. Existing approaches optimize circuit PPA (Power, Performance, Area) by aggregating multiple objectives into a single scalar reward, making it difficult to simultaneously generate diverse Pareto-optimal solutions across different trade-offs such as low power, low latency, and small area. However, in practical design, the relative importance of each objective varies depending on product requirements and design constraints; thus, obtaining a diverse and high-quality candidate set is beneficial in that designers can choose a preferred trade-off a posteriori. In this work, we are the first to propose a learning method for LLM-based circuit generation that optimizes, not the quality of a single circuit, but the quality and diversity of the entire circuit set obtained through multiple generations in the PPA objective space. The proposed method consists of (1) a generation-based training pipeline that reformulates coverage improvement of the entire Pareto solution set into a sequential circuit generation problem, and (2) a reward function based on Hypervolume Contribution (HVC) that measures how much a generated circuit contributes to the Pareto front. Evaluation on the RTLLM v2 benchmark shows that the proposed method achieves +13.3 percentage points in relative Hypervolume over a baseline without PPA…
