VTT and PhoeniX Software announce a process design kit to support silicon photonics developers around the world

Supported by the EU-funded ACTPHAST project, VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland Ltd. and PhoeniX Software have developed an extensive and improved process design kit (PDK) that supports the development of silicon photonics – one of today's hottest R&D topics. The new PDK includes design rules, component examples and simulation models in the form of documents and as a software library for PhoeniX Software solutions. Silicon photonics is under intensive development around the world in a bid to enable fast optical communication in data centres and other key infrastructures of our
