Tower Semiconductor (NASDAQ/TASE: TSEM) and OpenLight announced that OpenLight’s photonic Process Design Kit (PDK) for Tower’s PH18DA indium phosphide (InP)-on-silicon photonics platform is now available within Cadence electronic design automation (EDA) tools. The jointly developed PDK lets customers design photonic integrated circuits (PICs) in a familiar IC design environment and move more efficiently toward production.
The PH18DA ecosystem now combines OpenLight’s photonics IP, Tower’s process and manufacturing capabilities, and Cadence’s EDA environment to support monolithic PICs integrating active components such as lasers, modulators, and amplifiers. According to Tower Semiconductor, this enables development of 400G and 1.6T laser-integrated PICs and co-optimized photonic and electronic ICs for next-generation near- and co-packaged optics, targeting applications including optical interconnects, AI infrastructure, and sensing. OpenLight also highlights a recent $50 million Series A-1 funding round, bringing its total funding to $84 million.
