Demystifying PDK/DK in VLSI Physical Design: What You Need to Know

The episode provided a comprehensive overview of VLSI Process Design Kits (PDKs) and their subdivisions. The discussion included an explanation of Complete Design Kits, which are composed of tool-dependent Init-Files. Additionally, the episode covered PDK technology data and physical verification decks that are necessary for designing and verifying integrated circuits. Moreover, the video also introduced IP-Kits that include standard cell libraries, semiconductor memories, high-speed interfaces, and analog design blocks, which are essential building blocks in VLSI design. The information presented aimed to provide viewers with a complete understanding of the different components of PDKs and IP-Kits used in VLSI physical design.
