Foundry PDK drives reliable automotive chip design
SK keyfoundry, in collaboration with Siemens EDA Korea, has introduced a 130-nm automotive process design kit (PDK) compatible with Calibre PERC software. The process node supports both schematic and layout verification, including interconnect reliability checks. With this PDK, fabless companies in Korea and abroad can optimize automotive power semiconductor designs while performing detailed reliability verification.
According to Siemens, while the 130-nm process has been a reliable choice for analog and power semiconductor designs, growing design complexity has made it harder to meet performance targets. The new PDK from SK keyfoundry enables designers to use Siemens’ Calibre PERC with the foundry’s process technology, supporting layout-level verification that accounts for manufacturing constraints.
SK keyfoundry aims to deepen collaboration with Siemens through optimized design solutions, enhanced manufacturing reliability, and a stronger foundry market position.
