Enabling High-Volume PIC Manufacturing through Interactive Verification & Data-Driven Design Workflows

As PICs move to high-volume manufacturing, the design flow must mature beyond the Python-based scripting standards we helped establish through years of global partnerships. Building on this legacy of industry-standard innovation, this presentation outlines the next steps towards a design-for-yield flow focused on closing the loop between foundries and PIC designers.
By integrating "shift-left" automated verification (DRC, LVS, functional checks) and evolving our proven scripting framework to be AI-ready, we provide the reliability required for modern designer productivity. Through photonics-optimized data pipelines, the design process can move from iterative experiments to a data-driven workflow ready for the next era of volume manufacturing.
