Pick Ark for a dedicated MPW die, or MPC templates for shared infrastructure and lower entry cost.
ECOS55-2610 tapeout deadline: 2026-09-15
Ship Your Chip.Set Sail with Open Silicon
Flexible, convenient, and affordable tapeout for ECOS55 builders: choose a template, submit design files, bind a shuttle, pass signoff, and track the voyage to delivered silicon.
Generated MPW wafer / layout map
Self-contained canvas visual, no external protected assets.

Primary Workflow
From local design files to a tracked Tapeout Voyage.
ChipHarbor keeps the user-facing model small: Template, Shuttle, Submission, Order, Signoff, and WIP.
Submit Design
Upload the required resource package. MPW requires GDS; MPC requires DEF and Verilog netlist.
Create Order
Bind the submission to an open shuttle, add services, apply eligible coupons, and request signoff.
Pass Signoff
Track LVS, DRC, density, XOR, and engineering review status before payment is unlocked.
Track WIP
Follow tapeout, wafer fabrication, package, board assembly, and customer shipping milestones.
Shuttles
Airport-style shuttle boards make manufacturing slots legible.
Open, active, and planned ECOS55 runs are shown like departures: destination, gate, deadline, and operating state.

Templates
Four pre-validated routes for open silicon builders.
Templates define the sharing mode, required files, interface constraints, services, and deliverables.
MPW
Ark
Dedicated die for full SoC, MCU, accelerator, ASIC prototype, or custom mixed-signal designs.
- Area1x1-20x20 mm²
- RequiredGDS
MPC
Freighter
Shared chip with 73 programmable IOs for small ASIC and module prototypes.
- Area0.01-4 mm²
- RequiredDEF + Netlist
MPC
Cruise
Shared RISC-V route with retroSoC IP, SDK, board support, and bring-up references.
- Area0.01-1 mm²
- IO36 programmable
MPC
OSOC
Course-aligned path for One Student One Chip style submissions using a standard SoC environment.
- Areaby review
- Incentiveeligible
Ecosystem
Open PDK, open IP, and compatible local workflows.
ChipHarbor is built around ECOS55 55nm infrastructure and lets users keep familiar local EDA flows while platformizing submission and delivery.

Incentives
Open source contributors can bring the price down to zero.
Mock incentive records show how coupons could support open PDK, open IP, open SoC, open EDA, and education contributors.
Open Source Incentives
Eligible contributors can receive up to a 100% coupon after review. Rules and approvals are mocked for this prototype.
Education Route
Course-linked submissions can be routed through OSOC review and subsidized shuttle slots.
Early Builder Credit
Small prototype orders can use a launch-style coupon in the pricing calculator mockup.
User Dashboard
Submissions, orders, signoff, and voyage status in one place.
The dashboard prototype includes My Designs, My Orders, Submit Design, and Create Order wizard flows.
