Abstract

The design rules, layout guidelines and evolution of the open source predictive process design kit (PDK) FreePDK are discussed. This talk mainly focusses on FreePDK15^TM which was developed for 15nm FinFET devices and was developed in collaboration with MentorGraphics. The FreePDK15 kit uses HSPICE Simulation Models from the ASU 14nm PTM-MG HP model (http://ptm.asu.edu). It supports technology library and display resources for Cadence Virtuoso and Calibre DRC, LVS, and xRC rules.
