"Success is the sum of small efforts repeated day in and day out." - Robert Collier Excited to share our collaborative journey of getting started with Cadence software! Together with my friend Niranjan Gunaseelan, we tackled our first project involving designing and simulating a CMOS inverter, showcasing our combined expertise in semiconductor design and simulation. Navigating through Cadence tools was a rewarding experience, from learning the basics to crafting intricate schematics and conducting detailed simulations. With Niranjan, we delved into transistor sizing, interconnections, and power configurations, gaining insights into CMOS technology's nuances. The simulations provided valuable data on performance metrics like voltage transfer, noise margins, and power efficiency. This collaborative project has laid a strong foundation for our future endeavors in semiconductor design, fueling our passion for innovation and continuous learning in the field. Looking forward to exploring more with Cadence and pushing boundaries in semiconductor engineering, alongside Niranjan's unwavering support and our shared dedication to excellence! #CadenceSoftware #SemiconductorDesign #CMOSInverter #EngineeringProject #Simulation #CadenceTools

Electronic-Photonic Design Automation (EPDA) tool suite by Cadence Photonics Schematic Capture (Vistuoso) Circuit Simulation (Lumerical Interconnect) Layout (parametrizable photonic cells, PCells, Virtuoso) "Similar to SPICE, INTERCONNECT is a dedicated time- and frequency-domain mixed-signal circuit simulation engine that has been expanded to address optical signal propagation within multimode, multi-channel components commonly found in PICs. Close integration with the Virtuoso Analog Design Environment means that you can benefit from fast PIC exploration, including yield analysis." "The solvers in Lumerical’s DEVICE suite for photonic multiphysics simulation (FDTD, MODE, CHARGE, DGTD, FEEM, STACK) account for multi-physics optical, electrical, and thermal effects. Use Lumerical’s interoperability with the Virtuoso ADE Product Suite to perform model parameter extraction of passive and active components from the Virtuoso physical layout." "MEMs, microfluidics, and conformal metal routing .. Integration of the CurvyCore technology into the Virtuoso platform contributes a single design environment for developing complex multi-fabric systems."
