IHP-Open-PDK

The IHP Open Source PDK is a 130 nm BiCMOS open-source process design kit for analog, mixed-signal and RF design, targeting the SG13G2 process node. Its goal is a fully open-source PDK and related data that can be used to create manufacturable designs at IHP's facility. SG13G2 is a 0.13 um CMOS process with SiGe:C npn-HBT devices up to 350 GHz transition frequency and 450 GHz oscillation frequency, thin gate oxide for 1.2 V digital logic, thick oxide for 3.3 V, and a backend of 5 thin metal layers, two thick metal layers and a MIM layer.

Contents include a base cellset, IO cellset and SRAM cellset (CDL, GDSII, LEF, Liberty, SPICE netlist, Verilog), primitive devices, and KLayout tool data with layer property and tech files plus DRC and LVS rules. Documentation is at ihp-open-pdk-docs.readthedocs.io, covering installation, setup for supported EDA tools, device libraries, layout rules, process specifications and design flow examples.

IHP states the existing content is preview only: while the SG13G2 node and the PDK it derives from have produced many designs manufactured in significant quantities, the open-source PDK is not intended for production use at this moment. The project acknowledges public funding from the German IHP Open130-G2 and FMD-QNC projects.
