Enhanced Interface with Sentaurus TCAD Products (Sentaurus is initial software development selected for POET)
The RSoft Photonic Component Design Suite delivers improved integration with Synopsys Sentaurus™ TCAD products to provide streamlined, multi-disciplinary simulations of complex optoelectronic devices such as silicon modulators and waveguide photodetectors. Sentaurus TCAD geometry can now be imported and utilized in both The RSoft CAD Environment™ product and photonic design tools such as the RSoft FullWAVE™ tool for finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) analysis, the BeamPROP™ tool for rapid analysis of silicon photonics devices and the DiffractMOD™ tool for diffractive optical structure analysis. In addition, RSoft photonic design tools are integrated into the Sentaurus Workbench for easy inclusion in a Sentaurus TCAD workflow. This allows designers to simulate silicon modulators, for example, by passing complex index profiles from Sentaurus Device to BeamPROP for optical simulation, or to simulate waveguide photodetectors by passing absorption profiles from FullWAVE to Sentaurus Device for electronic simulation.
"The interface between the Sentaurus TCAD products and the RSoft products bridges the electronic and photonic domains to provide designers with state-of-the-art electro-optical processing and simulation solutions," said George Bayz, vice president and general manager of Synopsys' Optical Solutions Group. "Designers can apply faster, unified workflows to develop and optimize superior semiconductor technologies using RSoft optical simulations together with Sentaurus fabrication and electrical simulations."
