PDK-native verification.
Photoniq ships with verification rule decks for leading silicon photonics PDKs. Every check references your specific foundry rules — not generic waveguide physics. Bring your own PDK via our config API for custom or NDA-covered process nodes.
Available PDKs (v1.4.2) ────────────────────── ● IMEC_iSiPP50G v2.3 ● AIM_300mm_v3.1 v3.1 ● AMF_SiPhotonics v1.8 ● ANT_NanoSOI v2.0 ● Ligentec_AN800 v1.5 + custom PDK via --pdk-config
Available process design kits
Rule decks are maintained and version-pinned. Each job records the PDK version used for reproducible verification.
Bring your own PDK
Configure a custom foundry rule deck using our JSON config API. Works for NDA-covered processes, internal research foundries, and emerging SiN / III-V platforms.
