Open-source process design kits (PDKs) that this course’s tool chain targets. Each is a full foundry-signed PDK, distributed via ciel and backed by one or more free multi-project wafer runs.
- Sky130 PDK — SkyWater 130 nm. The workhorse for open-source digital tape-outs since 2020. 1.8 V core, five routing metals plus a local-interconnect layer, HD standard cells.
- GF180MCU PDK — GlobalFoundries 180 nm mixed-signal / MCU process. 3.3 V and 6 V devices, three metal-stack variants (A/B/C/D), used by wafer.space MPW runs.
