GDSFactory+ 1.0.27rc1¶

GDSFactory+: The All-in-One Solution for Chip Design

Welcome to GDSFactory+, the enhanced extension of GDSFactory that provides advanced capabilities for modern chip development. This extension includes support for foundry PDKs, simulations, and comprehensive verification tools such as DRC and LVS.

GDSFactory+ provides a powerful and flexible environment for designing and simulating chips with electronic, photonic, and RF components.

It offers:

• Access to over 26 Process Development Kits (PDKs) from leading foundries
• A rich set of design tools including a graphical layout editor and a graphical schematic editor
• The ability to define components in python or using Schematic driven layout
• Verification checks including
  • Connectivity checks
  • DRC (Design Rule Check)
  • LVS (Layout Versus Schematic)
• A powerful simulation environment both for devices and circuits.
• An AI assistant for designing photonic integrated circuit components
• The ability to export SPICE Netlists and black box representations
• An open source core with the popular chip design library, gdsfactory

From early-stage design (schematics, simulations, layout) to final verification (DRC, LVS) and data analysis, GDSFactory+ offers a seamless, integrated workflow for your entire chip development process.
