PIC designers
The Alcyon’s Toolkit is where the libraries of PIP Cores converge with PIC layout tools for the daily work of PIC designers, enabling them to explore IP Cores and even build their solutions around them.
Why use the Toolkit?
Master your project: develop and manage your own components and circuits without relying on expensive licenses, with tools compatible with popular open projects and commercial software.
Accelerate your PIC design: do not start from scratch, spend less time and resources in the process of designing your PIC by using our IP Cores and tools.
Explore innovation: get access to a growing portfolio of IP Cores with comprehensive documentation, compact models, and PIC layout tools.
Foundries
Alcyon partners with semiconductor foundries to develop advanced IP Cores and build the commercialization channels for customers to integrate into their chips.
Why use the Toolkit?
Foundry package: Alcyon also provides a special package to foundries, with customized tools for processing customer GDSs and black box replacement, among many other features.
Customer traction: The accessibility of advanced component libraries and easy-to-use layout tools make the foundry’s offering more attractive, while shortening Photonic ASIC development cycles for its customers.
Preserve the IP: the use of black boxes and the Fabcode system means that only the foundry has access to the designs and that no private data is shared between the parties.
IP providers
The Alcyon’s Tookit is also a platform for designers, whether from companies or research institutions, to showcase their developments and make them available to the photonic circuits design community. Hence, the Alcyon’s Toolkit is a great opportunity for photonic IP developers to make their R&D visible to the market and facilitate future monetization.
