Do tell more - since in the docs/tooling, we use gf180mcuD when referring to the PDK
17:32
But when talking in general about the process, we usually shorten to GF180

Yeah, don't shorten to GF180, fine to shorten gf180mcuD to GF180MCU though.

GF180MCU is annoying to type 🙂

We will also need to rethink our shuttle naming convention at some point

ttgf26[abcdef...] won't easily scale to multiple processes

To clear things up: GF180MCU is the process. gf180mcu is the PDK family and gf180mcuA/B/C/D are the PDK variants.

Same for SKY130, sky130 and sky130A/B.

IHP is a bit different though 😅 There it's: SG13G2 (or SG13CMOS), ihp-sg13g2 and ihp-sg13g2 (family and variant are the same).

GF180IC and GF180BCDLite would be potential future GF 180nm techs

IC == Industry Compatible

And I was sure it stands for "Intelligent Creatures"

or at least "Intel's Competitor"
