Process design kits
Our process design kits (PDKs) are the foundation for successful IC design. Built for our differentiated technology platforms, GF PDKs help you achieve first-pass silicon success, reducing risk, accelerating time-to-market and enabling innovation at scale.
Accurate designs start with GF PDKs
Our PDKs are the essential bridge between your designs and GF technologies. PDKs provide models, rules and libraries that describe the details of a semiconductor process to EDA tools, ensuring your design meets power, performance and area (PPA) targets while minimizing costly iterations.
