Make ideas become silicon.
We make chip design and tapeout open, affordable, and accessible, from ideas to silicon.
About
A harbor for the open silicon era.
ChipHarbor lowers the barrier to chip design and tapeout by combining open process infrastructure, pre-verified templates, shared manufacturing, and transparent order tracking.
Platform Position
An online ECOS55 design-to-tapeout platform serving hobbyists, students, research groups, startups, and ASIC teams that need real silicon without owning the whole foundry interface.
Every chip idea can set sail.
To be the harbor for the open silicon era, where every chip idea can set sail.
Less opacity, more progress.
Users should know what to do next, which files are required, what signoff means, and where their order is in manufacturing.
Values
Built for shared progress and engineering trust.
These values are taken from the platform brief and expressed as product behavior: transparent paths, accessible cost, and reliable status.
Open by Default
Support open PDKs, open IP, open SoCs, open EDA, and reusable public knowledge.
Accessible Silicon
Make small experiments and educational projects financially and operationally possible.
Builders First
Keep workflows practical for people who already have local tools, files, and constraints.
Engineering Trust
Use signoff checks, template rules, and clear reports to reduce manufacturing uncertainty.
Shared Voyage
Share wafer, chip, IO, package, board, and testing resources where that lowers cost.
Learn, Tape Out, Iterate
Help students and first-time builders move from lessons to fabricated chips.
