Description
Geopolitics suggest to consider technologies that Europe has full control of. One option to avoid sources that might potentially become unavailable is to focus on Open-Source chip design tools and processes that are hosted in Europe and provide OpenPDKs. While this has already been proven to work for fully digital workflows, there is still a lot of work to be done for mixed-signal chips in general and for DMAPS in particular.
I will present initial steps taken with the OpenPDK for the IHP SG13G2 130nm SiGe process and outline ideas for a DRD3 common project to evaluate the EDA tools and ultimately submit and test a DMAPS chip using a fully Open-Source toolchain to demonstrate the ability to create a monolithic pixel detector without proprietary software and NDAs using a foundry based in Europe.
