ubcpdk pdk
Project description
ubcpdk (SiEPIC Ebeam PDK) 1.21.4
SiEPIC Ebeam PDK adapted from siepic Ebeam PDK for gdsfactory. It provides a fully python driven flow alternative for the most advanced users taking the edx course
Installation
If you don't have python installed on your system you can download the gdsfactory installer with python3, miniconda and all gdsfactory plugins.
Installation for new gdsfactory users
Use python3.10 or python3.11, as some tools like kfactory are not available for older versions of python. We recommend VSCode as an IDE.
If you don't have python installed on your system you can download anaconda
Once you have python installed, open Anaconda Prompt as Administrator and then install the latest gdsfactory using pip.
pip install ubcpdk --upgrade
Then you need to restart Klayout to make sure the new technology installed appears.

For developers you need to git clone
the GitHub repository, fork it, git add, git commit, git push and merge request your changes.
