Mentor Graphics Teams with OpSIS Foundries and Lumerical Solutions on PDK Development for IME Silicon Photonics Process
WILSONVILLE, Ore., May 22, 2013—Mentor Graphics Corp. (NASDAQ: MENT), a leader in electronic design automation, today announced it has teamed with OpSIS and Lumerical Solutions to develop a complete EDA-style, full flow process design kit (PDK) for the OpSIS IME (Institute of Microelectronics) silicon photonics process. The prospect of integrating a silicon photonics process with silicon-based electronics would allow adding the driver and control electronics on the same chip, greatly reducing packaging complexity and cost. Adding a photonic layer and interconnects also holds the promise of solving … Read More → "Mentor Graphics Teams with OpSIS Foundries and Lumerical Solutions on PDK Development for IME Silicon Photonics Process"
