We would like to highlight (AMF), a specialty commercial foundry dedicated to silicon photonics, located in Singapore.
AMF offers reliable and predictable foundry services, with a sustained focus on safety, quality, delivery and its customers.
In addition to standard wafer manufacturing services, AMF also offers 6 Multiple Project Wafers (MPW) shuttles per year, active and passive, in Silicon-on-Insulator (SOI) and in Silicon Nitride-on-SOI. AMF¡¯s proposition also includes wafer level packaging solutions to facilitate the integration of your photonic chip into a final product.
Synopsys and AMF have been working together for many years to develop PDKs for Synopsys OptoDesigner and to support mutual customers. Recently, the two companies worked closely together to expand the PDKs to include DRC and LVS decks for Synopsys IC Validator physical verification solution and to enable design implementation with Synopsys OptoCompiler. All the photonic productivity features, like the flexible single and bus waveguide connectors, seamless abutment, and photonic auto-align have been enabled. Also, metal auto-routing is now available for the various technology platforms AMF provides. With this, customers can reduce design turnaround times and improve quality of results.
Synopsys offers a wide range of photonic simulation capabilities that cover device, circuit, and system level design. This article discusses modeling improvements made in late 2022 and early 2023 for circuit-level photonic simulations using the Synopsys OptSim product.
