Process Design Kits are the foundation of reliable and manufacturable semiconductor design. A well-developed and thoroughly validated PDK ensures that design intent is accurately translated into silicon behavior across process nodes. As technologies scale and design complexity increases, PDK development and validation become critical to achieving predictable performance, yield, and first-silicon success. Avecas provides expert PDK Development and Validation services that help semiconductor companies build accurate, scalable, and production-ready PDKs.
Our PDK engineering services bridge foundry process technology with EDA tool enablement, ensuring seamless design adoption and reliable signoff.
We develop complete PDK architectures that support front-end and back-end design flows. Our engineers define and organize PDK components to ensure consistency, usability, and scalability across design environments. We enable PDKs that integrate smoothly with industry-standard EDA tools and support efficient design start.
This structured enablement accelerates design adoption and reduces onboarding effort.
Accurate technology files and rule decks are essential for correct physical implementation. Avecas develops and configures technology files, layer definitions, design rules, and extraction parameters aligned with foundry specifications. Our work ensures correct interpretation of layout intent across place and route, extraction, and signoff stages.
This helps prevent downstream design and manufacturing issues.
PDK validation is critical to ensure reliability and accuracy across the entire design lifecycle. Our engineers perform rigorous validation of PDK components across schematic, layout, extraction, and signoff flows. We identify inconsistencies, gaps, and tool compatibility issues early and implement corrective actions.
This validation process improves confidence in design results and reduces late-stage surprises.
We ensure strong correlation between PDK data, foundry reference models, and silicon behavior. Avecas supports correlation activities using test structures, reference designs, and silicon measurements when available. This alignment improves the accuracy of simulation, extraction, and signoff analysis.
Our correlation services help achieve predictable silicon outcomes.
PDKs must evolve with process updates and tool changes. Avecas provides ongoing PDK maintenance and enhancement support to incorporate foundry updates, tool revisions, and customer feedback. We ensure PDKs remain current, stable, and optimized for long-term use.
This continuous improvement approach supports sustainable design enablement.
