We’re building tools to collapse the distance between an idea and working silicon. The goal is simple: cut fabrication lead times to weeks so teams can iterate as fast on silicon as they do on code.
What we are shipping
Wafers in under three weeks, an open-source analog-first design stack (Alembic), and an ecosystem that keeps the tooling, simulation, and fabrication loop tight.
Design loops should be shorter
- Traditional foundries are focused on pushing the economics per transistor rather than design speed
- It can take anywhere from three months to a full year to go from a finalized design to a chip in hand at today’s foundries.
- Analog design is still artisanal; we are raising the abstraction with Alembic.
- Tooling wants to be open; community contributions unlock better models and flows.
How we approach the stack
- Language-first: Alembic expresses analog intent without drowning in device minutiae.
- Tight simulation: We validate designs against the exact stack we fab on—no surprises at tapeout.
- Fast fab: Our process targets a 1μm node with reliable turnaround for experiments and MVP silicon.
