PreFab
PreFab leverages deep learning to model fabrication-induced structural variations in integrated photonic devices. Through this virtual nanofabrication environment, we uncover valuable insights into nanofabrication processes and enhance device design accuracy.
Prediction
PreFab accurately predicts process-induced structural alterations such as corner rounding, washing away of small lines and islands, and filling of narrow holes in planar photonic devices. This enables designers to quickly prototype expected performance and rectify designs prior to nanofabrication.
Correction
PreFab automates corrections to device designs, ensuring the fabricated outcome aligns with the original design. This results in reduced structural variation and performance disparity from simulation to experiment.
Models
PreFab accommodates unique predictor and corrector models for each photonic foundry, regularly updated based on recent fabrication data. Current models include (see full list on docs/models.md):
| Foundry | Process | Latest Version | Latest Dataset | Model Name | Model Tag | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ANT | NanoSOI | v5 (Jun 3 2023) | d4 (Apr 12 2023) | ANT_NanoSOI | v5-d4 | Beta |
| ANT | SiN (Lower Edge) | v5 (Jun 3 2023) | d0 (Jun 1 2023) | ANT_SiN | v5-d0-lower | Alpha |
| ANT | SiN (Upper Edge) | v5 (Jun 3 2023) | d0 (Jun 1 2023) | ANT_SiN | v5-d0-upper | Alpha |
New models and foundries are regularly added. Usage may change. For additional foundry and process models, feel free to contact us or raise an issue.

Performance and Usage
PreFab models are served via a serverless cloud platform. Please note:
- 🐢 CPU inferencing may result in slower performance. Future updates will introduce GPU inferencing.
- 🥶 The first prediction may take longer due to cold start server loading. Subsequent predictions will be faster.
- 😊 Be considerate of usage. Start small and limit usage during the initial stages. Thank you!
