Dendermonde, Belgium - August 21, 2024
Adhering to foundry-specific design rules and ensuring that your designs are free from DRC errors can be time-consuming even for the most experienced designers. This is typically achieved through a lengthy communication process between the designer and the foundry.
The new Luceda Link for Check Mate DRC enables designers to perform Design Rule Checks (DRC) using Spark Photonics’ Check Mate DRC tool directly within the IPKISS environment, providing instant feedback and error detection throughout the design process. Thanks to this integration, with just one line of code you can check whether your design adheres to foundry-specific design rules at any point during the design cycle, thus avoiding last-minute back-and-forth with the foundry.
Check Mate DRC is currently available for Tower Semiconductor’s PH18 family of photonics processes. For more details on Spark Photonics' Check Mate DRC, please refer to Spark Photonics' official press release.
