Photonic integrated circuits - design, simulation and analysis within the context of University of British Columbia: Silicon Photonics Design, Fabrication and Data Analysis course on EdX platform.

This is the repository containing my designs for the Silicon Photonics Design, Fabrication and Data Analysis course on EdX taught by by Lukas Chrostowski .

Details:

• The chips are manufactured via electron-beam lithography (EBL) at Washington Nanofabrication Facility at the University of Washington, Seattle
• For the mask design components available in the SiEPIC E-beam PDK are used.
• Parametric design is done with the IPKISS photonics IC design software by Luceda Photonics .
• The open-source software KLayout is used to review the mask design.
• The design approach taken here is Layout-driven, followed by verification, then a schematic (via a netlist extraction) and simulations.
• Circuit simulations are done with Caphe included in IPKISS and Lumerical Interconnect available by Ansys
