“Prior to starting a layout, customers typically provide Spark Photonics with PowerPoint or PDF schematics, which are inefficient for capturing PIC schematics or interfacing with foundry PDKs, and often need to be reworked due to erroneous capture. By using IPKISS Canvas, a dedicated PIC schematic capture and verification tool, our customers can ensure that their schematics are correct and true to their targeted PDK, thereby streamlining the design process and facilitating collaborative functionality checks as the layout advances.”

“IPKISS Canvas has given a great push to the PIC design process in the EU SiPho-G project by providing an integrated platform for seamless collaboration between teams. We were able to share schematic designs effortlessly with the Luceda team, enabling them to translate them into manufacturable layouts using IPKISS code. The accurate design representation, verification capabilities and smooth transition to layout implementation make IPKISS Canvas an invaluable tool for efficient and effective photonic integrated circuit design.”

“I believe Canvas has the potential to change the landscape in PIC mask layout and design. The concept of creating a schematic on Canvas which can be translated directly into a corresponding mask layout design is brilliant. It has already saved me a significant amount of time and effort and I'm grateful to Luceda for developing such an awesome tool!”
