Process design kits (PDK)

By GLOBALFOUNDRIES

Our process design kits (PDKs) are the foundation for successful IC design. Built for our differentiated technology platforms, GF PDKs help you achieve first-pass silicon success, reducing risk, accelerating time-to-market and enabling innovation at scale. Accurate designs start with GF PDKs Our PDKs are the essential bridge between your designs and GF technologies. PDKs provide models, rules and libraries that describe the details of a semiconductor process to EDA tools, ensuring your design meets power, performance and area (PPA) targets while minimizing costly iterations. Accuracy Silicon-proven models for analog, RF, and digital designs Efficiency Streamlined kits for faster design cycles Confidence Built-in checks for reliability and compliance Our PDKs at-a-glance Our PDKs are more than design kits, they are enablers of innovation. With our global ecosystem of EDA partners, silicon-proven IP and dedicated design enablement teams, we help you move from concept to tapeout faster and with confidence. Silicon-proven accuracy Verified models for analog, RF, silicon photonics and digital designs Scalability & flexibility Hundreds of gigabytes streamlined into interactive, easy-to-use kits Cross-platform consistency Support for all major EDA flows Advanced reliability checks Built-in design rule checks (DRC), layout vs. schematic (LVS) and ESD compliance Reference flows & IP integration Silicon-validated flows and IP libraries to accelerate design time Complete signoff End-to-end PDK enablement to take designs from concept to manufacturing Get started with GF PDKs Access our PDKs through GF Connect, your gateway to design resources, MPW schedules and expert support.
