PIC Design in the CPO Era: Solving Photonic Routing Challenges in Electro-Optical Layout Flows

As Co-Packaged Optics (CPO) and high-density electro-photonic integration advance, optical design teams face a dual challenge: managing complex, multi-channel photonic routing at scale while maintaining a smooth connection to established electronic IC flows. Manual geometry adjustments, phase-matching challenges, and broken design hierarchies during tool handoffs can create significant bottlenecks and slow down tapeout schedules.

Join us for a webinar where we'll demonstrate how IPKISS addresses these CPO routing challenges through our Pythonic approach to PIC design. 

You will learn:

• About our brand-new Luceda E/O Co-Design Integration for Cadence, which enables a seamless workflow from photonic synthesis to physical and functional verification by bridging Luceda’s Python-driven photonic synthesis with Cadence’s EPDA ecosystem.
• How to leverage Luceda's placement and routing capabilities to automatically synthesize complex waveguides, custom tapers, and matched delay lines. 
• How to bridge the optics-to-electronics divide by seamlessly exporting your synthesized IPKISS circuits directly into Cadence Virtuoso, preserving design hierarchy, netlists, and parametric intelligence without writing custom integration code.

Register now to discover how Luceda enables advanced photonic routing and seamless electro-optic integration with Cadence Virtuoso, eliminating manual transfer errors and reducing time-to-market for large-scale co-integrated electronic and photonic ICs.
