Advancements in IHP's SG13G2 open-source PDK and EDA Tool Development
The topic of this talk is the ongoing development of the IHP SG13G2 open-source Process Design Kit (PDK), a crucial resource for advancing analog, pure digital, mixed-signal, and RF design. We will explore the toolset provided within the PDK, including layout, simulation, and verification tools, like KLayout and ngspice. The discussion will also cover the collaborative efforts in refining device models and DRC rules, aiming to bridge the gap between innovative semiconductor research and practical, manufacturable designs. Attendees will gain insights into the challenges and solutions in PDK and EDA tool development, underscoring the importance of community contributions and open-source collaboration.
