TSMC

Founded in 1987, TSMC is the world's largest dedicated semiconductor foundry. TSMC has built its reputation by offering advanced wafer production processes and unparalleled manufacturing efficiency. TSMC has offered the foundry industry’s leading technologies to its customers.

Simucad Design Automations is pleased to offer a PDK for TSMC’s 0.18um Mixed-Mode/RF process available for no charge to TSMC customers.

Simucad PDKs provide a single-vendor complete, front-to-back design flow with interoperability between tools, versions, and design cycles. Our simple and effective design flow does not require a large in-house CAD support team. The Simucad PDK helps jump-start designers with an instantly productive environment for new design projects and ensures manufacturing success with pre-configured schematic symbols, SPICE models and layout technology files.

The Simucad PDK includes schematic symbols, SPICE models, Parameterized Cells (PCELLS), DRC/LVS runsets, parasitic extraction runsets, and scripts that run Simucad EDA tools to automate the generation and verification of design data.

PDK Documentation Included:

1. PDK Quickstart User’s Manual
2. Fabless Semiconductor Association PDK Checklist
3. Release notes
