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 NI AWR (for RFIC/MMIC/LTCC).

Typical PDK contains:

• standard cells library
• design rules (DRC rules)
• simulation model of transistors (typically SPICE)
• layout information (most commonly in GDSII format)
