# SRAMs on Open Source Silicon

In November 2022, three months after the GF180 PDK was made open source, someone on the open source silicon forum posted a complaint:

> Holy cow, these gf180 SRAM are huge compared to the sky130 ones.

Just wanted to make sure we recognize all the work @RebelMike and @Essen have made creating this Run's CoB
Now with:
- More sane orientation
- Pin 1 Fiducial
- Overall better routing and yield improvements
- Anti-reverse element *there is a hole you can add a pin header to ensure CoB orienation*

Thanks guys!

# wafer.space x Tiny Tapeout - Hackaday Europe 2026 Collaboration

@everyone, we're taking a sneak peek behind the scenes of how Tiny Tapeout's open source silicon merch for Hackaday Europe 2026 was made - featuring silicon from Run #1!

Check it out: https://www.crowdsupply.com/wafer-space/gf180mcu-run-4/updates/wafer-space-x-tiny-tapeout-hackaday-europe-2026-collaboration

Did you go? Have you tried your board yet??

wafer.space x Tiny Tapeout - Hackaday Europe 2026 Collaboration
Earlier this year the wafer.space team attended Hackaday Europe 2026, and if you did too, then your swag bag had a bit of open source silicon inside!

@everyone who ordered bare die from wafer.space Run #2 should have gotten a fedex tracking confirmation message yesterday for the shipment of the first ~200 bare die. If you haven't and think you should have, please poke me via email at tim@wafer.space

I'm excited to see people bring up their projects! You can find out more about the various projects on Run #2 on the new pages @ https://wafer.space/ws-run2/
