Process Design Kit
A process design kit (PDK) is a set of files used within the semiconductor industry to model transistors for a certain technology for a certain foundry, , different kinds of libraries to be used with design software tools like Cadence.
Typical PDK contains:
- standard cells library
- design rules (DRC rules)
- simulation model of transistors (typically SPICE)
- layout information (most commonly in GDSII format)
