Lambdapdk
Lambdapdk is a collection of open-source Process Design Kits (PDKs) that enable chip design across multiple technology nodes. Each PDK includes standard cell libraries, I/O libraries, and memory compilers with full integration into the SiliconCompiler build system and Lambdalib Verilog hardware abstraction library.
Why did we develop Lambdapdk?
- PDK setup is complex and error-prone
- Technology-specific designs limit portability
- Commercial PDKs have restrictive licenses
- Scattered PDK sources with inconsistent interfaces
The Solution
- Pre-configured PDKs ready for immediate use
- Lambdalib mapping enables design portability
- Fully open-source PDKs for research and education
- Unified API across all supported technologies
