This design kit contains the required layout information to fit in the standard packages or customized packages from Cordon
Cordon has a long history in development and production services for high end electronic modules and components. Over last decade this became more and more opto-electronics, making use of the benefits of micro-optics and integrated photonics.
Cordon offers to its customers a complete range of (photonic) services:

Packages are usually customized in order to maximize performances, but the process limits do not always allow to optimize overall product performance, cost, and size. Together with Synopsys, Cordon is currently studying how to incorporate in the PDK rules that help designers to stay within customized packaging production limitations. Cordon supports further optimizing the produce-ability and the thermo-mechanic behaviour before making a chip design final.

In early stages of development in particular, a customized package is expensive. Cordon offers some standard solutions to make this early development stage more cost-effective. In the PDK, design rules can be found for these standard packages. The PDK also indicates where it is possible, and with which freedom, to deviate from this completely standard package at limited cost and lead time. This can be used as an intermediate stage towards a fully customized package. The standard package for edge coupling is equipped for:
Up to 4 fibers or an array of max 32 (depending on chip configuration.

Cordon will soon be adding the design rules for VGC and its standard packaging solution(s).
