"The SkyWater Open Source PDK on Github is listed as a collaboration between Google and SkyWater Technology Foundry to provide a fully open source PDK and related sources. This so that one can create manufacturable designs at the SkyWater foundry, that target the 130 nm node. Open tools here should mean a far lower cost of entry than is usually the case."

@matthewvenn "Efabless want all the submissions to run a top level timing check" So does this mean that anything that's not synchronous logic is out? Clearly async or domino say will not pass any of the timing tool they have. That's a pretty unfortunate restriction. #tinytapeout #asic #skywater #asynclogic #dominologic #digitaldesign #efabless

Google is supporting the open silicon community with an open sourced process design kit for SkyWater Technology Foundry's 130nm node.

I recently came across Princeton's Reconfigurable Gate Array but I can't quite figure it out. I think perhaps it's a story for architecting FPGAs and then evaluating the architectures. Fabrication might not be part of the story - although maybe any foundry would do. Maybe a project for Google's Free Chips offer (see #skywater, #openlane)??
