[2025-10-13 8:08 a.m.] 246tnt 35-ish probably. It depends a bit where you end up on the reticle. [2025-10-13 10:48 a.m.] algofoogle Does the offer of a full undiced wafer drive away commercial customers who don’t want someone else getting hands on their bare dice, or is everything on wafer.space submissions initially expected to be open source? [2025-10-13 12:48 p.m.] urish Not sure if it's applicable in this case, but it's possible to mask out some designs from a water by making an extra mask that blocks out specific parts of the reticle [2025-10-13 5:00 p.m.] anfroholic I brought up that issue as well. I doubt anyone would actually use this vector to obtain anyone else's designs or IP, but at the end of the day it's kinda selling someone else's stuff. @urish there's also the possibility of just destroying the ones that are not yours after the fact. Drill a hole, use a laser to just ruin it a little. [2025-10-15 1:09 a.m.] mithro_ I'm happy to sacrifice those customers to offer the full wafers. [2025-10-23 5:43 a.m.] anfroholic @mbalestrini Your pictures are beautiful!! I made these. @Tim 'mithro' Ansell what font is on all your stuff? {Attachments} 2025-10_media/shiny_sticker-24934.png {Reactions} ❤️ [2025-10-23 5:43 a.m.] anfroholic {Attachments} 2025-10_media/red_closeup-3D168.png [2025-10-23 5:43 a.m.] anfroholic {Attachments} 2025-10_media/rainbow_narrow-E063C.png [2025-10-23 5:45 a.m.] mithro_ I actually have no idea regarding the fonts. {Reactions} 😂 👍 [2025-10-23 5:45 a.m.] anfroholic Alright, I'll try to find an open one that's close to what your artist picked. Or if you would just ask them, that would be great! [2025-10-23 5:48 a.m.] mithro_ Maybe look at the logo source files? [2025-10-23 5:48 a.m.] anfroholic Where are those? [2025-10-23 5:50 a.m.] urish "Custom silicon. Manufactured." This does not give customers a good reason to go with wafer.space over any other fab option. They all do "custom silicon" and manufacture it. [2025-10-23 5:50 a.m.] anfroholic Good call, Kinda just chucked something I saw from the website, Got something better? [2025-10-23 5:51 a.m.] anfroholic *Your* Custom silicon. Manufactured. ? [2025-10-23 5:52 a.m.] urish It's a question for Tim. What makes wafer.space different? IMHO no NDA is a big deal. Open source PDK is another one. Cost and number of parts you get is a third.

The goal of MOSbius is to give learners hands-on experience with **transistor-level design**, including circuit debugging, measurement, and the full “chip bring-up” process. The platform allows users to compare calculations, simulations, and real measurements using provided **LTspice models**, bridging the gap between theory and silicon. [![](../images/features_update/mosbius_interview.png)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=abu3u6UX6wE) *MOSbius – A Field Programmable Transistor Array for Chip Designers* *Interview with Peter Kinget* Their current board design requires numerous passive components due to varying pin voltage levels, and each packaged chip can cost upwards of **$50**. With their new design on the **Wafer.Space** platform, all pins will be **3.3 V tolerant**, dramatically simplifying their demo board and lowering overall complexity. By leveraging **Wafer.Space’s low-cost fabrication process**, the MOSbius team is able to minimize production expenses and make their chips available to the **educational community at a nominal cost** — expanding access to hands-on silicon learning for students and researchers worldwide. We’re thrilled to have MOSbius as part of this shuttle run and proud to support a project that aligns so perfectly with Wafer.Space’s mission!

Their application prioritizes **a high number of I/O connections** over power and ground pads, allowing for the maximum number of accessible signals from their transistor array. **Peter’s student, @xianglin_pui**, has taken the lead on this effort and developed derivative designs that extend the Wafer.Space COB standard for MOSbius’s specialized needs.
