Aug 2018CEA-LetiRequest Info
A silicon photonics process design kit (PDK) designed for photonics circuits is now available in the Synopsys PhoeniX OptoDesigner suite from Leti.
Leti’s integrated silicon photonics platform has been developed for high-speed optical transceivers and highly integrated optical interposer applications. The PDK contains the design rules and building blocks for multiproject wafer and custom runs on Leti’s Si310 platform. It also includes a catalog of components available at Leti, allowing Synopsys PhoeniX OptoDesigner customers to select the ones they need to build their circuits. Once the customers have a completed circuit design, Leti produces a proof of concept on a multiproject wafer run.
OptoDesigner gives access to a complete set of passive components, such as grating couplers, silicon waveguides, and transitions, and also active components such as high-speed Mach-Zehnder modulators and high-speed germanium photodiodes based on Leti’s fabrication. It also includes physical verification tools for design rules defined by the fabrication constraints in Leti’s cleanroom.
