TowerJazz, Cadence And Lumerical Deliver Silicon-Photonics And SiGe- Integrated PDK With A Complete Optical Transceiver Design Environment

摘要

TowerJazz, the global specialty foundry leader, Cadence Design Systems, Inc., and Lumerical Inc., a leading developer of photonic design and simulation tools, announced the availability of a complete custom design Silicon Photonics (SiPho) and Silicon Germanium (SiGe) integrated process design kit (PDK). The differentiated PDK is based on the Cadence® Virtuoso® custom IC design platform, providing native synthesis using the Cadence CurvyCore engine and Electrical-Optical co-simulation capability in Lumerical's photonic integrated circuit simulator INTERCONNECT. The complete, photonics-optimized solution provides SiPho designers with a single, streamlined design environment for developing complex multi-fabric systems, while enabling them to collaborate in a shared IC design environment to leverage the electro-optical interface that is critical for enabling 400GB optical transceivers.
