I made a liquid metal ion thruster so you don't have to ☺️
(it was very difficult 😩)

5 years ago my first ever chip had a deadly error. This is the video I couldn’t make then - join me at 18:00 CEST for the premiere!

I had a sneak peak at this video, it's very cool!
FIB is such a cool technique to allow editing of live chips

We cut a microscopic wire inside a chip with an ion beam, then brought it back to life with platinum gas! My latest video is a collaboration with @Zeptobars, and I’m releasing it as a Youtube premiere at 18:00 CEST on Tuesday 12th May. youtube.com/watch?v=plcgYP…

Saw everyone dunking on this and thought it might be overly harsh. But even the images are Gemini AI slop 😐
Like come on guys, at least spend 5min to find real images of a Mill-Turn or automation cell
It's not an important detail, but details are important in manufacturing
Y Combinator@ycombinator
Prototyping.io is building autonomous manufacturing systems to turn CAD designs into high-quality mechanical parts as fast as one day. They’re already saving weeks on hardware iteration cycles for multi-billion dollar companies by delivering high-quality parts, while doing $400k in monthly revenue. Congrats on the launch, @Revanth279 & @ThePreritOberai! ycombinator.com/launches/QFc-p…

Kinda want to make a working memory with this 😂 Feels like something Tom7/SuckerPinch would build

@jwt0625 Yeah I made a video about it a few years back. Bob popped in and left a comment and a link to that video 🤩 (pinned comment, think YT has since deleted the link though)

a Kibble balance prototype using Lego.. by NIST
the video is killing me

LEGO-based interferometer kits by University of Nottingham. The stages are actuated??
English
@Physburgh Alas no, packaged by a contractor that the wafer.space folks found.
(Did have a wirebonder for a while, but sold it when I moved)
English
@massbtaye Ah yeah, forgot to take a photo of that. There's a mezzanine style connector on the back (photo from an earlier prototype board but I think it's the same as mine)
English
@BreakingTaps Dumb question, are there SMD pads on the backside of the COBs? I don’t see how you access the connections otherwise.
English
First set of COB-mounted dies are here! Waiting on a connector then time start testing these little guys out 🤞
English
@BreakingTaps I need to redo the PCB around the connector because the wiring is wrong. 😮💨

For now, a die shot by Leo Moser. KianV Linux ASIC SoC
logic destroyer@splinedrive
First silicon just arrived. These dies are from the first wafer of my GF180MCU based Linux SoC KianV, built with a fully open source ASIC flow. This chip was part of the wafer.space GF180MCU run and hardware validation comes next. Big thanks to Leo Moser for help with the ASIC flow and to @mithro and @evezor for their guidance along the way. The picture shows the first dies. More bring up updates soon.

@RenhaTou Digital design, so it's a lot of verilog that gets "compiled" down to standard cells which are placed/routed by solvers. Not a whole lot of manual layout for all-digital designs
English
Hard to describe the feeling of holding silicon in your hand that you've designed 🥺
BreakingTaps@BreakingTaps
First bare dies are here! 🤩 Microscope images soon!
English
@brazhii Yunno the frontier models are surprisingly decent at simple verilog. They do get confused easily due to the nature of hardware timing, but are good at laying down boilerplate or sketching out ideas that you go back and fix up
English
@always_ff_rohan The final RTL is here: github.com/polyfractal/Br…
But it's transpiled from Spade which I haven't pushed to github yet (need to do some cleanup first). Will publish it soon
English
@lithos_graphein @guyinchi982 I think the grand goal of wafer.space is to prove to fabs that there's enough activity/demand on these old nodes to get access to some of the more modern nodes. Hope it happens! 🤞
English
@guyinchi982 @BreakingTaps That's too bad. I thought it was a great idea.

They grow up so fast. 🥲
