Process design kit

Term · Semiconductors · MLC-T-SEM-000266

A collection of files and data provided by a semiconductor foundry that describes a specific manufacturing process. It includes design rules, device models, and intellectual property libraries necessary for designing integrated circuits compatible with that process. A PDK typically contains SPICE models for transistors, layout rules in GDSII format, and technology files for electronic design automation tools.
