During the execution of the project, we made the first release of the digital platform (the Alcyon toolkit) including a demo IP library and multiple design tools. This platform, including the IP libraries, can be accessed under registration on our website. Apart from the demo library, we have also released two additional IP libraries to the public for ANT collaboration: one available in our Toolkit platform and another integrated in Luceda's IPKISS platform.
Additionally, we have upgraded and optimized our portfolio of designs through an extensive study using simulated behavioral data and supported by experimental validation, including repeatability analysis of the actual performance. These upgrades and optimizations have been performed across different foundries, including two of the top 10 semiconductor foundries worldwide. Therefore, we have consolidated our alliance with four foundries, and we are now officially part of their ecosystems as IP providers.
Moreover, we have upgraded our internally developed tools for the automatization and more efficient use of resources. We have automated many processes, such as the creation of databases and the automatization of simulations, or the Layout Creator Module, which allows for layouting with very simple scripting so that only basic programming skills are required.
Importantly, we have achieved experimental validation of most of the designs across different foundries. This milestone further strengthens the consolidation of our company within the supply chain of photonic integrated circuits, positioning us as a key and indispensable part of it.
