要約(英語)：We advocate a platform for design democratization that allows more people to participate in semiconductor design. We adopt the OpenPDK method, which makes it easier to port design data among different fabs. Since compatible PCells are used at the source and destination fabs, design rules inside the device are preserved. Rule violations between devices may need manual resolution, still porting layout is easier than before. Unlike digital circuits, porting analog circuits requires circuit redesign that cares differences in device characteristics. The main objectives of the design platform are to represent reusable design information, perform parametric analysis to confirm design specifications, compare device characteristics, and convert design data to different formats. We will introduce open source silicon development samples to show how the design platform has been utilized.
