Luceda Photonics is proud to announce the Luceda Photonics Design Platform 2026.03, empowering PIC designers worldwide to design more efficiently, collaborate more smoothly, and gain deeper insight into their PICs from the very first iteration.
This release introduced powerful new verification and simulation capabilities that bring manufacturability and circuit validation closer to the design phase than ever before. With the launch of Luceda DRC, a new integrated, easy-to-use design rule checking (DRC) tool, dummy filling enhancements, a SPICE-based circuit simulation workflow, and improved visual placement & routing (P&R) assistance, this release empowers PIC designers to move from design to tape-out with greater confidence, transparency, and efficiency.
1. Luceda DRC - Integrated, Easy-to-Use Design Rule Checking
Introducing Luceda DRC, a native DRC engine fully integrated into the Luceda Photonics Design Platform. Designers can now detect and resolve DRC issues early, directly within their design environment, with just a few clicks. Developed to verify PIC layouts for foundry compliance, Luceda DRC brings verification closer to your design phase, significantly reduces surprises right before tape-out, and shortens the path to fabrication-ready PICs.
Running Luceda DRC from the Luceda Layout Visualizer.
-Integrated workflow- Run DRC directly from the Luceda Layout Visualizer for immediate feedback on your PIC layout or use Python scripting for automated GDSII-based regression testing.
-Rule selection- Filter by selected rule groups (e.g., metal layers, density, BEOL, or FEOL) to manage computational load and resolve issues in complex designs.
-Cell selection- Perform DRC on the entire design, or target specific subcells to run faster, targeted checks on smaller layout sections.
-Built-in density checks- Leverage new advanced dummy filling capabilities to automatically perform density checks according to foundry specifications.
