𐦂𖨆𐀪𖠋 - Friends / tinytapeout / BTW It's GF180MCU not GF180 🙂 -- Going

Do tell more - since in the docs/tooling, we use gf180mcuD when referring to the PDK

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

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

And I was sure it stands for "Intelligent Creatures"

or at least "Intel's Competitor"
