FreePDK is an effort to develop an open-source, Open-Access-based PDK for the different technology nodes and the Predictive Technology Model. The effort is currently funded by the Semiconductor Research Corporation and Synopsys. This web page also lists value-added items for several of our sponsors and software vendors.
