Luceda Photonics Design 2025.12 | Photonic Integrated Circuit (PIC) Design & Process Design Kit (PDK) Platform
Luceda Photonics Design 2025.12 is an advanced software platform dedicated to the design, simulation, and layout of photonic integrated circuits (PICs). It provides an integrated environment with powerful process design kits (PDKs) for major foundries, streamlining the design flow from schematic capture to fabrication-ready layouts.
Core Functionality Overview:
-
Schematic-Driven Layout & PDK Integration: Enables hierarchical schematic design of photonic circuits with automated layout generation based on parametric cells from foundry PDKs (e.g., AMF, Ligentec, imec).
-
Circuit Simulation & Analysis: Integrates simulation engines for photonic circuit simulation, including frequency-domain and time-domain analysis, to predict optical performance (transmission, loss, crosstalk).
-
Design Rule Checking (DRC) & Verification: Performs photonics-specific design rule checks and layout-versus-schematic (LVS) verification to ensure designs are manufacturable and match the intended schematic.
