@Tim 'mithro' Ansell can you help me figure out what mask is the top layer of MPW-3 - both files on your system and green label on the mask box

There where I think two Google MPW runs done with GlobalFoundries
1:21 a.m.
@carlfk - The top layer would be the pad frame, what you probably want is the top metal layer which is what is the most visible thing?

"Not generated yet." did you hit Generate or should I hit it?

I hit it - requested — the worker renders one mask at a time; this page reloads every 15 s.

@Tim 'mithro' Ansell What is the interesting mask for MPW3?

Tim 'mithro' Ansell 2026-09-09 2:33 a.m.
@carlfk - FYI, you don't have the masks for MPW3, I do....

oh. I thought I did.

I'm pretty sure the sky130-masks tool says where each mask is now? (edited)
Avatar
I see that now - I thought I was getting 3-8, or 3-something but maybe that changed once someone tried to pull it from storage?
2:52 a.m.
@carlfk - Or maybe I'm a programmer and have off-by-one errors all the time? 😛 I have MPW 1, 2 & 3 here in Adelaide

is this GFMPW0 #4 == mpw-004 ?

Never mind - GF = Global Foundries so there is no way I have any masks for that wafer

@carlfk - I'm sure you know how to use image magic or gimp to make a smaller version of an image. You have a whole pipeline which does stuff like that.

I think I will make the project titles bigger - the point of all of this is to attract attention as people walk by, not provide details
5:44 a.m.
6502 and Z80 are good eye catchers
3:22 a.m.
each one has something that needed fixing
3:22 a.m.
now onto the ws one that needs 6502 in a big font

That is why the US paper format is bad -- with the A series, you can just rotate them by 90 and put them next to each other.
5:42 a.m.
How does that look? Terrible?
