Some of the analog cells might look good as 3d prints :) Pre-heat my plate!

#YetToComeBusan knocked me of my feet and left me in a dancing loop on repeat. I wanna go concerts again!

Cool! DIY Workshop for solar modules on the own balcony at home. Uni Mainz.

Great interview about the "how to" of creating open-source PDKs and standard cells.
Talking standard cell libraries with @JamesStineJr ! How many cells do you need? What do engineers least understand? Why do we need one for @GlobalFoundries 180nm? Are there any circuit families from the past that deserve new attention? youtube.com/watch?v=5J8LJoUx…

Welcome to the family: My new mobile is the Xiaomi Scale 2 Squarephone /w 4-digit 7-segment speed dial - just step on it.
Goodbye weekend plans. No sunshine, no long autumn walks, just plain being inside in front of the computer. store.steampowered.com/app/2…

Mission: Explore my own #tinytapeout (tto) design with the 3D viewer by @maxiborga and @proppy. Accomplished: My 8-bit-pattern-player with their interactive viewer: thorkn.github.io/wokwi-veril… Try out cell highlighting and the 1,2,3 keys. This is perfect for student lectures!

This is so damn beautiful that it makes me sick. Exploring #tinytapeout designs in an intuitive graphical way. Congrats @proppy and @maxiborga.
Check out this excellent upgrade to #tinytapeout build system by @proppy & @maxiborga - An interactive 3D viewer of the GDS! Even does cell highlighting and layer control. mattvenn.github.io/wokwi-ver…

A great picture to understand the stacking of #SKY130 layers in the standard cells. And good for glueing together 3d cell models ;)
Layers of an Inverter Cell in the #SKY130 nanometer CMOS process node from @SkyWaterFoundry. The motivation behind this is to inspect the order in which the layers position on top of one another, and spot the correspondence to the digital circuit diagram.

My how-to guide on 3D-printing standard cells from the Open-source SKY130 PDK. Thanks to @matthewvenn and his fantastic Zero-to-ASIC course and @maxiborga for the modified gdsiistl. #sky130 link.medium.com/aREGNL4T6sb

AI generated artwork. This is my very first try with #midjourney, topic #camping. Damn, there goes my saturday... hooked onto playing with an AI. Weird, challenging and frightening at the same time. @midjourney

#tinytapeout is addictive! This is my third submitted design, there are some hours left till deadline and i still think about doing another one. @matthewvenn github.com/ThorKn/tinytapeou… wokwi.com/projects/341620484…

I submitted an capture-the-flag chipdesign to #tinytapeout. A 40 Bit number is hardcoded into the chip and must be found to enable the output pin to high. I don't know if this idea will work, but it is a ton of fun to build chips for tinytapeout.com @matthewvenn

The design is done with wokwi wokwi.com/projects/341516949… and is prepared for tinytapeout in this Git repo: github.com/ThorKn/tinytapeou…

My very own 8-bit shiftregister shall be produced as a microchip :) See for yourself on how to do this at tinytapeout.com . The design and the submission took me only 30 Minutes. Digital chipdesign has never been easier. Go go go! @matthewvenn #tinytapeout

Thank you @matthewvenn for this awesome piece of MPW-1. I will treasure and use it. Real meetings and conferences enable the exchange of such goodies again. Awesome FSiC in Paris! #FSiC2022 #sky130 #zerotoasic
