Join our experts as they demonstrate layout-driven workflows in KLayout via an example design, simulation, and compact model generation of a custom multi-mode interference (MMI) splitter compatible with the AIM Photonics PDK process. This webinar will also demonstrate creating a photonic circuit using customized and foundry-validated components.
Photonic design workflows that connect layout tools with simulation tools are needed to verify designs before they are sent out for fabrication and are essential to achieving high yield. This webinar presents a photonic design ecosystem built on KLayout, Ansys Lumerical photonic simulation tools, and foundry process design kits (PDKs). To demonstrate these streamlined workflows, we'll design and simulate a custom multi-mode interference (MMI) splitter compatible with the AIM Photonics PDK process. Next, we'll extract the MMI compact model and develop a photonic circuit using a combination of the custom MMI and foundry-validated components. The webinar will walk you through all the steps for both the component and circuit-level design workflows.
