Luceda Photonics IPKISS Design Suite 2025.12
Luceda Photonics IPKISS Design Suite 2025.12 is the latest major version of the comprehensive photonic integrated circuit (PIC) design platform from Luceda Photonics. Built around IPKISS—a powerful parametric design framework in Python—it enables designers to create, simulate, layout, and verify photonic circuits with full control over geometry, simulation, and tape-out preparation. This release empowers PIC designers to work more efficiently, collaborate seamlessly, and gain deeper insights from the earliest design stages through streamlined PDK creation, interactive visualization, smarter placement & routing, native dummy fill support, and enhanced simulation robustness. The platform integrates layout (IPKISS Canvas), circuit simulation (Caphe), physical simulation (via PDKs and solvers), verification, and fabrication prep in one ecosystem, supporting foundry PDKs (SiFab, open-source, commercial) and enabling rapid...
