A Process Design Kit (PDK) is a collection of foundry-specific data files and script files used with EDA tools in a chip design flow. A PDK’s main components are models, symbols, technology files, parameterized cells (PCells), and rule files. With a PDK, designers can jump-start chip design and work through the design flow seamlessly, from schematic entry to tapeout.

Silvaco is committed to supporting PDKs for Silvaco EDA tools, providing a solution to users. Silvaco offers PDKs for most of fab processes of major foundry companies. Silvaco PDKs and EDA tools together make chip design easy, fast, and affordable.
