積體電路 (Integrated Circuit, IC) 的發展在過去幾十年對科技的進步發揮了關鍵作用，大幅提高在單元(Unit) CMOS積體電路上集成越來越多電晶體和開發電子系統與產品的能力。
在光學領域，光子積體電路 (Photonics Integrated Circuit, PIC) 作為光學的等效體，將各種微型光學元件，如波導、干涉裝置、雷射和環形諧振器進行集成，這些並非我們在傳統積體電路中通常看到的電晶體。在此微系統平台上整合電子和光子元件，有望在多個領域帶來技術性的革命，影響遍及電信、生物醫學產業、無人導航系統和相關的感測技術。
若能朝著集成甚或取代大規模光學和光電元件之晶片系統邁進，將有助於大幅減少產品體積、重量、功耗和成本。
本論文首先回顧電子設計自動化(EDA)的歷史，接續探討光子電路設計技術發展的歷史及過程，並將其與傳統(EDA)的技術和演變進行比較。同時，本論文進一步探討Latitude Design Systems所開發的商業工具：PIC Studio在實際應用場域中所能提供的功能與價值，更近一步的我們進行矽光子與電子設計自動化的比較分析，並進一步探討矽光子設計技術領域面臨的挑戰和其潛在之創新機會，包括設計變異性分析、光子與電子工作流程和模擬的整合，以及簡化架構框架的整合展望。
期望由此論文研究，增加台灣半導體業界對矽光子產業之了解，同時強化台灣半導體產界對PIC 設計工具應用之關注。

Electronic integrated circuits have been pivotal for technological evolvement throughout the last couple of decades, significantly improving the capability of integrating an increasing number of transistors and develop electronic devices on a single CMOS integrated circuit.
In the realm of optics, Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs) serve as an optical equivalent, incorporating various miniaturized optical components such as waveguides, interference devices, lasers, and ring resonators, instead of transistors, as we usually see in electronic integrated circuits. The integration of electronic and photonic components on an eco-microsystem platform holds the promise of revolutionizing technologies across several sectors, including telecommunications, biomedical industry, autonomous navigation system, and sensing technology. Moving toward on-chip systems that integrate or even to replace large-scale optical and electro-optical components mean a significant reduction in size, weight, power consumption, and cost.
This thesis starts by looking back the history of Electronic Design Automation history, then delves into the evolving fields of photonic circuit design technology development history, processes, and comparing it with traditional (EDA) techniques and evolvement. We then further delve into a commercial tool: PIC Studio from Latitude Design Systems, where we further explore the comparative analysis between silicon photonic and electronic designs, as well as the upcoming challenges and potential innovations in the silicon photonic design technology area, including design variability analysis, the integration of photonic and electronic workflow and simulations, and integration of simplified modeling frameworks.
