How Chips Are Actually Made: RTL to GDSII
Written for publication Feb 22, 2026. Some details, such as prices, offers and links, may have changed since.
RTL from 27/24/28 → synthesis → OpenLANE2 P&R → GDSII/LEF → foundry or package. 18 gives you the seed voxel build, the ratio and seed matrix, and the Blu-ray packaging. We wrote it down so that no one is lost. The rest as a service includes clarity docs and support.
The 7T seed delivers: any size chip (seed matrix + envelope), any kind of processing (classical, hybrid, photonic, quantum), and any zettaflop scale from the ratio. The rest is planned as a service—builds, harvests, foundry packages, Blu-ray, roadmap, and support.
Project 18 — AutoPhi Future. One vessel. 7T seed. Make way.
