summary
Project builds a free, open manufacturing flow: a 1µm process and a Standard Cell Library, using an open toolchain (qtflow) and a refurbished cleanroom in Hong Kong. A test wafer with 15–16 masks is being sent; mask set cost ~12,000 HKD and per-die cost estimates around HKD 1,200. Measurements from that wafer feed SPICE models and cell sizing; goal is shrink to 0.5µm and produce a simple microcontroller if yields and models validate.
