singhamStandard cells, shouldn't they differ from foundry to foundry?14:13
singhamSay there's skywater pdk which creates library for skywater foundry for the specific conditions it has.14:14

singhamIf I go for fabricating an IC with AllWinner, for the same, say 130nm, it's cell dimensions, of length and breadth of transistors, etc. would be different right?14:15
singhamMy question is AND gate at AllWinner foundry and AND gate at Intel Foundry should have different characteristics right, for same dimensions.14:21
singhamSo my argument is shouldn't libraries should be different for all semiconductor foundries of the world?14:22
tntThey are different ?14:23
tntLike each foundry provides their standard cell libs.14:23

singhamYes14:23

tnt(often several of them actually ... depending if you want low power / high speed / ... )14:24
singhamSo say, I design an AND gate for skywater foundry, say it has 20nm width and 40nm high, with the right proportions for n doped, oxide, p doped all that14:25
singhamIf I move that as it is to Intel foundry, won't my design falter?14:25
tntDepends on each process ... some are actually "kinda" compatible. Like for instance ECP5 was moved from one process to another. Athough done by different foundries those were compatible.14:26
tnt(they did bunch of re-validation etc ... you can read about it in some pdf that I can't recall exactly how to find, but it's out there)14:27
singhamtnt: What do you do? Your work?14:28
tntI'm a FPGA designer. I don't do asic for work, this is just "basic" knowledge from dabbing into sky130 / gf180.14:29
singhamWow! Cool, man!14:29
singhamI heard a nice joke by Clive on FPGAs14:30
singhamFPGA designers have so much complexity in routing and connections, that they throw in CLBs as a bonus!14:31
tntOk, to be clear, what I meant is I do designs running on FPGA, I don't design the FPGA themselves. ( i.e. see the next sentence where I say "I don't do asic for work" ).14:32
singhamAah ok :)14:34
singhamNice.14:34
singhamLast 2 days I learnt quite a lot on physical design of FPGAs14:34
singhamGowin semiconductor boards are quite powerful!14:35
singhamI saw lately, 20k LUTs.14:35
singhamI'm waiting for their SRAM ones to be supported by yosys nextpnr14:35
