skywater pdk

We have hosted the application skywater pdk in order to run this application in our online workstations with Wine or directly.

Quick description about skywater pdk:

The SkyWater PDK is the first broadly available open-source process design kit for a commercial-grade CMOS node, enabling researchers, startups, and students to design real ASICs without proprietary NDAs. It provides the essential artifacts for digital and analog flows: SPICE models, DRC/LVS rules, extraction decks, and technology files for open tools like Magic and KLayout. Standard-cell libraries and IO pads are included so digital designers can use open synthesis and place-and-route to reach a manufacturable GDS. Because the PDK is open, it becomes a common target for community reference designs, open tapeouts, and teaching curricula. Documentation and example flows show how to assemble complete toolchains, from RTL to sign-off, using open EDA components. The project effectively lowers the barrier to custom silicon, catalyzing an ecosystem around an accessible 130-nm process.

Features:

• Open SPICE models, DRC/LVS decks, and extraction rules
• Technology files for Magic, KLayout, and other open tools
• Standard-cell and IO libraries for digital implementation
• Example flows from synthesis through place-and-route to GDS
• Compatibility with educational and community shuttle programs
• Reference designs and tests to validate end-to-end toolchains

Programming Language: Python.
