PDK | Zero to ASIC Course
A Process Design Kit (PDK) is a collection of files from a chip foundry that defines the fabrication rules, device models, and standard cells needed to design an ASIC for that process.
The Process Design Kit is a library of all the specifications that describe a particular factories’ particular chip fabrication process. This often includes representations of the design rules and devices which can be used by particular implementation and verification tools that have been checked and approved by the fab. This may include software representations of items such as transistors which will be automatically laid out with the dimensions that meet the rules for the process (often called pcells for ‘parameterized cells’ - the designer says what size is wanted, the pcell does the…
