GDSFactory is a powerful Python library for designing a wide range of complex systems, including photonic circuits, analog devices, quantum components, MEMs, 3D printed objects, and PCBs. With GDSFactory, you can create and refine your designs using Python or YAML, perform rigorous verification through Design Rule Checking (DRC), Layout Versus Schematic (LVS) checks, and simulations. 

Additionally, it facilitates automated lab testing to ensure that your fabricated devices meet precise specifications, streamlining the entire design-to-fabrication workflow.

About the session:

  1. Schematic driven layout: Draw a filter schematic
  2. Simulate circuit Frequency response
  3. Run DRC (circuit verification)

Introduction by IMB-CNM researcher Joaquín Faneca.
