The Siemens EDA Custom IC team works closely with a full set of foundries to help ensure your success.

Foundry partners distribute qualified Process Design Kits (PDK’s).  The foundry certified PDKs along with the Siemens EDA tools make chip design simple, fast, and affordable.

PDK support in Custom IC Design

Since Siemens EDA acquisition of Tanner technology in 2015 (as Mentor Graphics), the level of PDK support for AMS, MEMS and Photonics design has changed significantly.
Watch the video to discover what PDK’s are, who provides them and how they are used.

• Built on standards, OpenAccess, iPDK
• Schematic symbols with netlisting support
• Parameterized and fixed layout devices
