VPItoolkit PDK LIGENTEC is a pluggable toolkit which extends VPIcomponentMaker Photonic Circuits by adding the support of the Silicon Nitride integrated photonics Process Design Kit (PDK) for the Multi-Project Wafer (MPW) runs offered by LIGENTEC.

It enables the rapid design of silicon nitride monolithically integrated photonic circuits based on the AN800 process for their subsequent fabrication at the LIGENTEC foundry.

VPItoolkit PDK LIGENTEC supports IPKISS by Luceda Photonics and PhoeniX OptoDesigner by Synopsys as layout design tools.

This demo illustrates design of an integrated optical buffer circuit with custom building block (waveguide delay line) which has a user-defined simulation model and layout.
