Design Kit: Siemens L-Edit Photonics for Applied Nanotools (ANT) Silicon Photonics Fabrication Process

This product includes the following:

Process Design Kit (PDK)—confidential, designed for Siemens L-Edit Photonics for the Applied Nanotools (ANT) NanoSOI process. This PDK includes:
- A complete process layer definition
- Device Library supplied by ANT for Silicon-verified Design, as well as design examples
- Programable Cells (PCells) adapted from the Tanner GPIC library
- CMC devices library (in a future release)
- DRC rules using L-Edit DRC checker
- ANT documentation
PDK User Guide—confidential, provides instructions for installing and configuring the PDK for Siemens L-Edit Photonics for the Applied Nanotools (ANT) NanoSOI process. It describes these tasks:
1. Installation of Tanner and PDK
2. Setting up the design environment
3. Creating a basic layout with PDK library components
4. Drawing photonics Waveguides (WG) using the tools
5. Running Tanner build-in DRC to verify design during layout creation
6. Importing and Exporting a Design
7. Layer Map and General Layout Rules
