ChipOS · Programs

Layered architecture

A buyer-facing map of how ChipOS holds a semiconductor program together — design through validation — without pretending to replace your licensed EDA stack or a foundry MES.

1. 01 · Design & RTL workspace

   Structured projects, hierarchy, and review workflows — design intent that survives team churn and semester rotations.

2. 02 · Simulation & verification

   Job queues, functional and timing flows, and evidence trails graders and auditors can inspect.

3. 03 · PDK & IP library

   Process kits, standard cells, and reference blocks scoped by entitlements — fab rules stay bound to every exercise.

4. 04 · Process & manufacturing study

   Fab literacy modules — how wafers move, where yield is won or lost, and what packaging demands.

5. 05 · Test & validation

   Bench bring-up, ATE concepts, and sign-off checklists — validation as a governed state.

6. 06 · Collaboration & governance

   Roles, IP custody, audit posture, and industry–academia handoffs appropriate to funders and accreditation.
