Simplify the Design Process for Photonic Integrated Circuits

Create high-performance photonic integrated circuits (PICs) with RSoft Photonic Device Compiler. Utilizing RSoft photonic device tools and the Custom PDK Utility, Photonic Device Compiler provides PIC designers and PDK developers with a powerful solution to generate foundry-specific building blocks as well as the ability to augment existing PDKs with custom components. This allows PIC designers to automate the process of generating symbols, analytical models, and parametric layouts for schematic capture, circuit-level simulation, layout, and verification.

RSoft Photonic Device Compiler can also integrate seamlessly with Synopsys® OptoCompiler and Synopsys OptSim design tools to help boost the quality and performance of all your photonic devices.

Key Features of RSoft Photonic Device Compiler

RSoft Photonic Device Compiler – FAQ

RSoft Photonic Device Compiler facilitates the creation of custom device libraries, IP libraries, or PDKs for foundries by automating the addition of custom devices developed during the photonic design process.

The Photonic Device Compiler works with other RSoft photonic device tools — the industry’s most comprehensive set of photonic device simulators — as well as the Custom PDK Utility to design, analyze, and optimize photonic devices. It also integrates seamlessly with Synopsys OptoCompiler and Synopsys OptSim.

PICs can use passive and active components such as:

  • Lasers
  • Waveguides
  • Modulators
  • Detectors
  • Shifters
  • Splitters
  • Filters
  • Multiplexers
