which tools should I use to generate c@dence process design kit (PDK)?
 

pdk tools

Usually,PDK is offered by fab
so you can ask who had the work experience in fab
 

Cadence will provide a tool to generate PDK.
The tool name is PDK Automatic System(PAS).

Yes, I have got that tool. I want to know if there are foundry use it really
 

Re: PDK tools

Hi,

TSMC has PDK for 0.35u, 0.25u, 0.18u Process.
 

Re: PDK tools

PDK is no thing but a seriesof script file like spice models for active/passive devices, DRC, ERC, Antenna rules and so on.
to generate it u must have the files and write the others, and of cource it will ahve BUGS so the best way is to use provided pdk of your fab (even in this case u must update it since it have several bug fixes in each version!!!).
BTW, generating PDK will help learning of the tools infra-structure and productivity of the designer.

BEST!

If you are sending Chip to mosis. You can call and request a design kit copy. I think they will open a ftp account and you can download from them
