Thank you for your patience and understanding.
In the semiconductor industry, process design kits (PDKs) have long been used to model the fabrication process for the design tools used for an electrical IC. The same approach can be applied to photonic integrated circuits, bridging the gap between the foundry technology and design requirements. PDKs can also accelerate the process toward first-pass chip success. Read on for more insights into how PDKs can help you accelerate your photonic IC design process.
Get a macro view of the silicon photonics industry, including the benefits of electronic integration, how the industry is accelerating the development of photonic IC designs across markets, why companies are interested in shifting to integrated lasers, and more.
On October 19, 2022, Synopsys hosted its annual Photonic Symposium covering new capabilities and trends emerging in the integrated photonics market.
Synopsys Photonic Symposium presentations are available on demand until January 19, 2023. To register and access the recordings, visit our website.
