The IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society (SSCS) Student Chapter at Worcester Polytechnic Institute invites you to attend our upcoming Tiny Tapeout event. This hands-on design session is a great opportunity for students to learn how digital integrated circuits are created and to experience the process of turning a design into real silicon, and is completely free!

Event Details

📍 Location: AK 113

📅 Date: April 11

⏰ Time: 12:00 PM–6:00 PM

Have you ever wondered how integrated circuits are made? What if you could turn your digital design into a real piece of silicon?

In just six hours, participants will work to implement a small digital design that is ready to be fabricated through the Tiny Tapeout open-source shuttle. Tiny Tapeout is a collaborative project that allows many small digital designs to share space on a single manufactured chip, giving students the chance to take part in a real tapeout process without needing the resources of a full custom fabrication run.

During the event, we will introduce the Tiny Tapeout design flow, guide students through the tools and submission process, and provide support as participants work on their own designs. Whether you want to strengthen your resume, gain hands-on experience with digital logic and hardware design, or simply see what it takes to send a circuit to fabrication, this event is for you! We are tentatively planning to also have pizza for participants as the session is long.

No prior chip design experience is required! Whether you already have experience with digital design or are simply interested in how modern chips are built, we encourage you to join us.
