TODOs / roadmap

[joamatab]

Things that would be great to finish by the end of the Photonics West conference in San Francisco at the end of January

Design

• Fix klayout backend and compare with gdstk klayout backend #1031
• Serialize GDS files to YAML (preserving hierarchy)
• Convert YAML netlist to spice Do we have a spice netlist generator in GDSfactory #681
• Add generators for photonic components (taper, bends, grating coupler, MMIs …)
• Define test sequence for lab measurements (validation)
• Fit simulations to build circuit models (coupler, waveguide …) [WIP] generic S-parameter JAX interpolator #1055
• Extend simulators to support Analog design (spice) and RF quantum workflows. Do we have a spice netlist generator in GDSfactory #681
• add non-manhattan router non manhattan router #1169
• global router implement route optimizer #57
• schematic improvements improve schematic capture (hierachical, ports interaction) #1176
• replace grid snapping decorator by a flag in write_gds #1177
• time domain? Time Domain Simulations - How to describe memory containing components #1143

Verification

• LVS Layout versus schematic LVS #934
• Electrical and optical extraction, path length extractor.
• DFM Design for manufacturing. Simulate designs with erosion/dilation. Simulate devices after lithography (rounding effects)
• Yield estimation based on layout aware monte carlo simulations from erosion/dilation simulations

Validation

• Data analysis flow. Extract device parameters from measurements.
• Webapp for comparing simulations and measurements (correlation database)
• Add example scripts and documentation for deploying and using the database database improvements #992
• Define testing directives, vectors, protocols #1178

General

• figure our recommended cloud deployment strategy. Smaller docker image?
