Tutorial on silicon-photonic IC design in IHPs SG25H5_EPIC using an electronic-photonic design flow

An intensive course on electronic-photonic IC (EPIC) design methodology using the IHP design kit

Day 1   IHP Mixed signal flow

• Introduction to tutorial and IHP silicon photonic MPW service
• Electronic-photonic design kit (overview & installation)
• EPIC design example from schematic to layout (hands-on)
• Luceda EDA Solution for photonic design
• Parametric layout design using IPKISS (hands-on)

Day 2   IHP Mixed signal flow

• Parametric layout design using IPKISS (hands-on)
• Design kit documentation and support
• Best practices for electronic-photonic IC design
• Electro-photonic design finalization with Tanner EDA and IPKISS design flow (hands-on)
• Q&A

Prerequisites:  Course participants should be familiar with circuit design. Familiarity with IPKISS or Tanner EDA design tools would be helpful.
