Design, verify, and validate chips blazingly fast with GDSFactory+

From design to verification to validation — programmatically create reproducible photonic, quantum, and analog chip layouts.

From the creators and maintainers of GDSFactory — the world's most popular open-source chip design framework.

gdsfactory_example.py
import gdsfactory as gf
import gdsfactory.components as gc

c = gf.Component()
ref1 = c << gc.rectangle(size=(10, 10), layer="WG")
ref2 = c << gc.text("Hello", size=10, layer="WG")
ref3 = c << gc.text("world", size=10, layer="WG")

ref1.xmax = ref2.xmin - 5
ref3.xmin = ref2.xmax + 2
ref3.rotate(30)

c.show()

Schematics, layout, and simulations, all in one editor

GDSFactory+ requires no complex installation processes or specific knowledge to get it running. Just open VSCode and start designing!

  • Design in Python, YAML, or the GUI
  • Render in VSCode in seconds
  • Verify DRC, Connectivity, and LVS errors in a single click

Errors are common, but not with our DRC and LVS verification

Don't stress about hidden errors! GDS Factory+ helps you catch them before they create problems

  • Quickly find and fix errors
  • Review and remedy collaboratively
  • Compare across versions

Bring sanity to your design and testing data with our Data Storage & Analysis extension

Get a complete overview of all your chip layouts, measurements, simulations, and analysis.

  • Gain key insights and at-a-glance understanding
  • Visualize measurements, simulations, and analysis
  • Collaboratively define custom analysis for devices, dies, and wafers

Switching to GDSFactory+ has streamlined our PIC design workflow by unifying layout, schematics, simulation, and analysis in one interface.
Its Python integration enables custom models and advanced analysis that legacy EDA tools can't match.
The SAX simulator is incredibly fast, and the support team has been excellent.
GDS Factory+ is now essential to our modern PIC design process.
