Enabling the Photonic Ecosystem: A Practical Guide to PDK Generation and Release

With the rapid adoption of AI tools, integrated photonics is experiencing unprecedented growth. New platforms and architectures are being explored worldwide, and many fabrication facilities are set to enter the market in the coming years. At the heart of scaling these technologies is the Process Design Kit (PDK), a crucial tool that enables foundries to collaborate effectively with customers. But what exactly is a PDK, and what does it take to build and maintain one successfully?

Join us for a webinar where Luceda Photonics and Spark Photonics will provide a deep dive into all things PDK! 

In this webinar, you will learn:

• The fundamentals of PDKs and their role in integrated photonics.
• How to maintain, release, and test a PDK effectively.
• How PDK contents impact the customer experience.
• The importance of including packaging and Assembly Design Kits (ADKs) early in the design cycle.
• Common pitfalls to avoid when developing a PDK.

Whether you are an established foundry with an existing PDK or just starting to explore enabling one for your technology, this webinar offers practical insights for everyone.
