GDSFactory+ 2.1.0

Design, verify, and simulate chips in one integrated environment.

GDSFactory+ is a chip-design environment for VS Code. It combines graphical schematic and layout editors with foundry PDKs, verification, simulation, and AI-assisted workflows for analog, photonic, and RF designs.

Get started

• New to GDSFactory+? Follow one of the design tutorials.
• Setting up your workstation? Install GDSFactory+ locally.
• Prefer a managed environment? Launch a cloud workspace.
• Want a guided demonstration? Watch the video tutorials.

Design

• Create photonic, analog, and quantum-RF circuits with code, a schematic, or an AI agent.
• Build and route fabrication-ready geometry with the layout workflows.
• Work with more than 50 supported foundry PDKs.
• Use the AI Agent to explore, troubleshoot, and automate design tasks.

Verify

• Run design-rule checks (DRC) against the selected fabrication process.
• Find disconnected or incorrectly connected ports with connectivity checks.
• Compare layouts with their schematics using layout-versus-schematic (LVS) verification.

Simulate

• Analyze devices with FDTD, FEM, and mode solvers.
• Simulate circuits with SPICE, RF, and harmonic-balance workflows.
• Explore the available simulation workflows.
