Instinctively you know when something could be done better or quicker (or cheaper). But finding the solution, that “Aha..!, light bulb or eureka” moment, can be difficult.


Silicon photonic design tool from Siemens EDA
L-Edit Photonics is a powerful layout tool for designing silicon photonic integrated circuits. It includes a comprehensive range of features for creating and editing waveguides, wires and other optical components.

20 Integrating OptiSPICE for a seamless photonics flow
OptiSPICE is the third party photonic simulator from Optiwave. Siemens CustomIC tools integrate seamlessly with third party photonics sim OptiSPICE to perform full photonic design flow.

11 Curvilinear aware Physical Verification for MEMS and Photonic ICs
A video to demonstrate how calibre eqDRC can be used in a photonics flow to filter out incorrect false errors due to snapping of curved objects.

#7 New photonic design features in S Edit
Two new features for photonic IC design have been added to S-Edit in release 2020.3: photonic ports and photonic design checks.
Photonic port elements identify inputs and outputs of the design. They make schematics easy to read and use in the other parts of the design flow including simulation, layout design and verification.
