How is a chip built layer by layer inside the fab?
We look at the machines that deposit, etch and implant materials into the wafer, how photolithography ties it together, and how a MOSFET is built from scratch.

What are people building with Tiny Tapeout? Every week, we spotlight a design from our community and share what it does, how it works, and why we think it’s cool.
This week, we're featuring a the classic Simon Says memory game by @UriShaked. You can build it on a breadboard, or play it online first via Wokwi.
Try it out and let us know what you think 👇

Were you at OSHCamp last August? We were!
Stuart @sc_r gave a talk on Chip-on-Board (COB) wire bonding, while Kris talked about the process of designing and manufacturing your own custom chip :)

We closed the TTIHP26b run last September 21 with 123 projects submitted to the IHP-2609 shuttle!
Thank you to all those who submitted! Chips are expected on June 25, 2027, with estimated shipping on August 16, 2027.
Learn more about it here: tinytapeout.com/news/ttihp26…
If you're interested in submitting a design, here’s a list of future shuttles tinytapeout.com/chips/ and how you can submit your design tinytapeout.com/guides/advan…😊

Your daily dose of ASICs.
Open source FPGA, after an open source software stack, the next frontier is silicon.
This board was made by Leo Moser (not me), and manufactured through wafer.space on the Global Foundries 180nm node.
And it works.

Check my recent talk at FOSSi ORConf!
I spoke about chips on boards and in space, interactive visualisation tools, growth in the community and some exciting future projects - including some awesome new packaging!

Forget simulation - watch me build and speed up a circuit on silicon, live!
I'm using Mini MOSbius - it's like an FPGA but for analog.

Working on some content right now about modern open source RTL-to-tapeout (LibreLane/OpenRoad)!
But would love to read about the proprietary systems too! There's not much out there, folks would benefit from being exposed to more chip content imo 🙂

Georgous chips from IHP!
This chip has a RISCV by @splinedrive , an Atari 2600 and a LGN hand-written digit classifier by @__ReJ__ , and some original silicon artwork by @Bleeptrack

And then the fun part started: debugging the actual chip. 😅
