IonSilicon

We are a technology and engineering software partner specializing in the co-design, simulation, and process automation of optical and photonic systems. By combining deep domain expertise in wave optics with specialized semiconductor software development, we help foundries, chip designers, and system integrators turn complex optical concepts into scalable manufacturing reality.

Core Capabilities & Expertise:

• PIC Design & Multiphysics Simulation: Full-cycle modeling of Photonic Integrated Circuits across various material platforms (Silicon Photonics, InP, SiN). We handle component-level simulation (FDTD, FEM, EME) and circuit-level yield optimization to ensure robust performance prior to tape-out.

• Optical Design & System Modeling: Custom design of free-space optics, micro-optics, beam-shaping systems, and integrated optical interfaces tailored for communications, sensing, defense, and space applications.

• Software Development for Semiconductor Fabs: Custom EDA integration, PDK development, automated layout-versus-schematic (LVS) checking, process-design co-optimization tools, and fab automation software designed to minimize design-to-silicon discrepancies.

Who We Are Looking to Meet:

• Foundries & Fabs: Looking to enhance their Photonic PDKs, automate yield-analysis workflows, or offer expanded design service support to client networks.

• Fabless Chip Developers & OEMs: Seeking specialized external R&D support for complex optical simulations, circuit layout validation, or optical packaging solutions.

• Research Institutions & EU Consortium Partners: Interested in joint R&D projects leveraging advanced modeling, chip-scale photonics, and semiconductor software innovation.
