SiEPIC Forge

This python module implements the SiEPIC EBeam Si PDK processes and components and technology specifications for PhotonForge

Installation

Python interface

Installation via pip:

pip install siepic-forge

Usage

The simplest way to use the this PDK in PhotonForge is to set its technology as default:

import photonforge as pf
import siepic_forge as siepic

tech = siepic.ebeam()
pf.config.default_technology = tech

The ebeam function creates a parametric technology and accepts a number of parameters to fine-tune the technology.

PDK components are available through the component function, which takes a component name as first argument. The list of component names is available as a set component_names:

print(siepic.component_names)

pdk_component = siepic.component("ebeam_y_1550")

More information can be obtained in the documentation for each function:

help(siepic.ebeam)

help(siepic.component)

Warnings

Please note that the 3D structures obtained by extrusion through this module's technologies are a best approximation of the intended fabricated structures, but the actual final dimensions may differ due to several fabrication-specific effects. In particular, doping profiles are represented with hard-boundary, homogeneous solids, but, in practice will present process-dependent variations with smooth boundaries.
