CORNERSTONE Open Platform
Welcome to Open Platform
We are launching CORNERSTONE Open Platform, a multi-purpose, open-source initiative that aims to provide a professionally-maintained Standard PDK, while cultivating a collaborative design community through user-driven Community PDK.
Through Open Platform, community members have the chance to access the standard components as they are used to, with the added benefit of tapping into a collectively-curated component library compatible with our foundry services, while the designers will have the chance to obtain real-life data on the submitted components.
You can download and upload silicon photonic PDKs
From our CORNERSTONE standard designs, to organisations best practices and individual contributions. A place where you can share and benefit from other people’s designs too, and much more!
