Get to volume faster with reduced design iteration time
Expansive building block libraries for every process or wavelength supported
Scattering Parameters
Our PDKs come with fabrication-aware scattering parameters to allow for full circuit simulation before taping out a chip.
Get more accurate simulation results of the expected component performance on a given fabrication process
Predict before fabrication how a given circuit is expected to perform
Assess the suitability and performance of components
EDA Integrations
We have built integrations to make our PDKs accessible with various EDA tools.
Streamlined route to developing PICs by incorporating Wave Photonics' pre-designed and expansive component library into available EDA tools
Our EDA Integrations are compatible all the features on offer by the EDA tools, allowing you to work in your workflow with ease
