@everyone 📢 Update Time!

This update includes several improvements to the KLayout DRC deck and a new standard cell library!

- PDK [`792ef670`](https://github.com/fossi-foundation/open-pdks/commit/792ef67037d74c8c51811eab3ce23cf793491296)
  - KLayout DRC
    - Add [DCF.1a](https://gf180mcu-pdk.readthedocs.io/en/latest/physical_verification/design_manual/drm_13_1.html)
    - Fix [DF.11](https://gf180mcu-pdk.readthedocs.io/en/latest/physical_verification/design_manual/drm_07_06.html)
    - Improve [CO.5a/b](https://gf180mcu-pdk.readthedocs.io/en/latest/physical_verification/design_manual/drm_07_13.html)
  - KLayout LVS
    -  Fix LDMOS extraction
  - KLayout filler generation
    - Consider DCF.1a properly
  - Update `gf180mcu_as_sc_mcu7t3v3` to latest
    - This adds a number of new standard cells, which can improve the maximum frequency of your design. Note: this SCL has not been fully silicon verified yet.
  - Add `gf180mcu_ocd_sc_rt12t3v3`
    - A radiation-tolerant standard cell library by @Tim Edwards!

- Project Template [1.6.0](https://github.com/wafer-space/gf180mcu-project-template/releases/tag/1.6.0)
  - Update PDK to `792ef670`
  - Update LibreLane
  - Add `gf180mcu_ocd_sc_rt12t3v3` as an SCL option. Note: this SCL has not been silicon verified yet.
  - Update the information about IP libraries in the README. Thanks @RebelMike for the inspiration!

- Precheck [1.7.4](https://github.com/wafer-space/gf180mcu-precheck/releases/tag/1.7.4)
  - Update PDK to `792ef670`
  - Update LibreLane

Please update your projects to the latest project template to ensure a smooth tapeout experience.

If you have any questions, please let me know.

Whoa. Radiation-tolerant how?

I’m going to harden a single macro on my multi-project die sponsored by @Paul with the radiation-tolerant SCL and we’ll get to see if it works.

cool!

I think I’m gonna use it to tape out something I can easily test, which would be a 6502, I’d say.

I updated the PDK in my project using gf180mcu_as_sc_mcu7t3v3 and I can confirm frequency performance is slightly better. Thanks

Be aware, the library isn't silicon tested as far as I can tell
