First Public PDK integrated in Software

For any technology to breakthrough and wide adaptation you need scalable, stable, and high quality production you need a PDK. PlanOpSim releases the first public PDK that is compatible with the manufacturer's process to gain scalability, reliability and manufacturability.

A PDK (Process Design Kit) is a collection of essential components, design rules, models, and data used engineers & designers to create semiconductor devices. PDKs are re-useable, optimized for fabrication and validated before release. PDKs are specific to a fabrication process and manufacturer. The manufacturer checks and ensures that the building blocks inside the PDK library are compatible with their processing.

PDKs will change Meta Optics 
For any technology to breakthrough and wide adaptation you need scalable, stable, and high quality production, Meta-Optics are no exception to this rule. PDKs enable exactly this; by designing components with a PDK the design is directly compatible with the manufacturer’s process. In other words you gain scalability, reliability and manufacturability.

Access to PDK will scale Meta Optics 
Access PDKs through PlanOpSim by selecting PDKs in the library in an easy way, with the same user-friendly workflow as you would design any other meta component.
