Process Design Kits

Process Design Kits (PDKs) provide photonic IC designers the ability to use pre-qualified and characterized building blocks from which to build up their circuits. This saves designers time and reduces potential errors.

PDKs can include:

  • Libraries of passive and active photonic building blocks
  • Die and package templates
  • Frequency and time-domain models
  • Optical properties for custom component design and phase-aware routing
  • Optical and manufacturing verification rules
  • Automated streamout to final, foundry-specific GDS format

草榴社区 Photonic IC Platform provides access to more than 30 foundry-specific PDKs to provide PDK-driven custom and hybrid design capabilities.

PDKs can be obtained from the foundry of your choice. Contact photonics_support@synopsys.com if you need assistance.
