Synopsys Workshop
Join our workshop to learn a complete electro-optic design flow for photonic ICs. Our experts will discuss strategies for managing design teams to prepare for multi-project wafer (MPW) runs with foundries. No prior knowledge of photonic IC design is required, although a basic understanding of EDA basics and practices is helpful.
A hands-on section will be held for all the participants who have their own laptop with Citrix Receiver installed.
Who should attend:
- Aerospace and defense: project managers, principal investigators, members of the photonic and electronic systems as well as circuit design teams
- Telecom, high-performance computing, datacom and sensors: technical leaders, transceivers and co-packaged optics (CPO) teams, simulation and verification professionals
- Academia: R&D scientists, government and industry co-funded project managers
Why learn about PICs?
The time for large-scale, reliable photonic integrated circuits (PICs) has finally arrived. The segments PICs find compelling use-cases include aerospace & defense, sensors, data centers, high-performance computing (AI/ML), health and consumer wearables. Governments, academia and industry are all onboard to transfer the knowledge gained from decades of manufacturing experience in electronic integrated circuits to photonic integration. In addition to the favorable economics from higher energy efficiency, smaller footprint and lower cost, photonic integration is recognized as essential to the national security.
What the workshop will cover:
- Introduction to schematic-driven layout (SDL) design flow for PICs using commercial foundry iPDK
- Custom Photonics: Active and Passive Photonic Component Design for Manufacturing
- Setting up a device design in Photonic Device Compiler (RSoft Photonic Device Tools)
- Using Custom PDK Utility for generating cells, views and parametric simulation data
- Introduction to MetaOptic Designer
- Applications of design of meta-structures-based fiber coupling lens and polarization beam splitter
- Hands-on sections for custom AWG and phase shifters in OptoCompiler
- Hands-on sections for MetaOptic Designer
