Design Kit: Luceda AMF Silicon Photonics
Description
This PDK was developed by AMF with partner Luceda Photonics, using access to AMF’s fabrication services and design tool from Luceda.
This product includes the following:
- Process Design Kit (PDK)—confidential, designed for Luceda’s IPKISS for the Advanced Micro Foundry (AMF) technology.
- It enables circuit simulation and layout creation for silicon photonic design in Python based design environment.
- It includes IPKISS library of parameterized photonic components and a circuit simulator, as well as AMF supplied silicon-verified black box cells.
- Most of the library cells have both layout and simulation model which enables photonics design from design to simulation, then to layout generation targeting AMF’s technology for chip fabrication.
- PDK User Guide—confidential, provides instructions for installing and configuring the PDK for IPKISS for the AMF technology. It describes these tasks:
- Downloading and installing the PDK, and the Luceda IPKISS tool
- Designing layouts with step-by-step instructions in Python Jupyter notebook
- Exporting design in GDSII file
- Interacting with other GUI-based EDA tools
