SBIR Phase I: Leading a Hardware Revolution through Open Source

这个小型企业研究(SBIR)第一阶段项目的更广泛的影响/商业潜力是探索开源开发在计算机硬件中的应用。这种模式将使新的想法和基于半导体的技术得以设想、开发和部署。该项目将使协作网络能够围绕复杂的芯片实现建立开发人员生态系统。这一小型企业创新研究(SBIR)第一阶段将推动用于新型集成电路芯片实现的最先进硬件工具的开发。该系统将从28纳米制程扩展到7纳米以下的半导体芯片制造节点。项目目标包括：1)在硬件设计中实现开源模型；2)电路设计模块的初始设计。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Research (SBIR) Phase I project is to explore applications of open source development in computer hardware. This model will enable new ideas and semiconductor-based technologies to be envisioned, developed, and deployed. This project will enable collaborative networking to build the developer ecosystem around sophisticated chip implementations.This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I will advance the development of state-of-art hardware tools for novel integrated circuit chip implementations. The system will scale from a 28 nm process to sub-7 nm semiconductor chip manufacturing nodes. Project objectives include: 1) implementation of open source models in hardware design; 2) initial design of circuit design blocks.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
