• Instantly productive environment for new design projects • Simple and efficient PDK file usage • Support for CMOS, Bipolar, BiCMOS, SOI, SiGe, TFT, CCD, and other processes • Download PDKs from Silvaco’s secure web site A Process Design Kit (PDK) is a collection of foundry-specific data files and script files used with EDA tools in a chip design flow. A PDK’s main components are models, symbols, technology files, parameterized cells (PCells), and rule files. With a PDK, designers can jump-start chip design and work through the design flow seamlessly, from schematic entry to tapeout. Silvaco is committed to supporting PDKs for Silvaco EDA tools, providing a solution to users. Silvaco offers PDKs for most of fab processes of major foundry companies. Silvaco PDKs and EDA tools together make chip design easy, fast, and affordable. Process Design Kit PDKs for Analog/Mixed-Signal/RF Design
