ECOS55-2610 tapeout deadline: 2026-09-15

Ship Your Chip.Set Sail with Open Silicon

Flexible, convenient, and affordable tapeout for builders who need a guided path from local design files to real ECOS55 silicon.

Primary Workflow

A tapeout path that behaves like a disciplined build pipeline.

Choose a template, upload the right design resources, bind the submission to a shuttle, pass signoff, pay, then track the physical voyage.

01

Submit Design

Upload the file package required by your template: GDS for MPW, DEF and Verilog netlist for MPC.

02

Create Order

Select a shuttle, optional services, coupon eligibility, and bind the submission to signoff.

03

Pass Signoff

Track DRC, LVS, layer density, XOR, and engineering review as visible order states.

04

Tapeout Voyage

Follow GDS ready, tapeout, wafer start, fabrication, dicing, packaging, board assembly, and shipping.

Shuttles

Departure-board clarity for real manufacturing batches.

Each shuttle works like a scheduled departure: deadline, capacity, gate, signoff state, and WIP stage are visible before you commit.

Templates

Start with the right amount of silicon freedom.

Ark gives you a dedicated MPW die. Freighter, Cruise, and OSOC use MPC economics to share chip infrastructure while keeping user designs isolated.

MPWDedicated die

Ark

For complete SoCs, MCUs, mixed-signal prototypes, and custom ASICs that need independent die ownership.

Area1-400 mm²
RequiredGDS
MPC73 IO

Freighter

Flexible small-area chip prototyping with programmable IO and optional board support.

Area0.01-4 mm²
RequiredDEF + netlist
MPCRISC-V

Cruise

RISC-V oriented shared-chip template with retroSoC infrastructure, SDK, and bring-up path.

Area0.01-1 mm²
RequiredDEF + netlist
MPCOSOC

OSOC

A course-aligned Cruise variant for One Student One Chip style submissions and assessments.

AreaCourse spec
RequiredDEF + netlist

Ecosystem

Open process access, practical infrastructure, and familiar local workflows.

ECOS55 Open PDK

55nm process foundation maintained with the ECOS ecosystem and foundry collaboration.

Open IP and SoC Blocks

QSPI, PSRAM, UART, PLL, retroSoC, OSOC, and reference designs become reusable launch equipment.

EDA Path

Local file upload today, cloud-native chip design tools tomorrow, tied into the same submission and order flow.

Incentives

Make open silicon contribution visible in the price.

Prototype coupon programs are mocked but shaped around the platform brief: open source contributors and OSOC learners can qualify for subsidized tapeout.

Up to 100% coupon

Open Source Incentives

Applicants can attach a public repository, contribution note, course certificate, or OSOC assessment record during order creation.

User Dashboard

Designs, orders, signoff, and voyage status in one control plane.

Users can submit design resources independently, then create orders when a shuttle and service package are ready.
