Freeze an open design fixture
Select an openly licensed Verilog design and specify the supported OpenROAD toolchain.
TSM / TSMC
Lower the friction between an open hardware idea and a result another builder can reproduce.
Working starter lab
Narrow live tool / open for extension
Estimate gross dies per circular wafer, defect-limited yield and expected good dies from simple geometry and a Poisson defect model. This is a working starting point, not the broader proposed Silicon Proof roadmap project.
Roadmap
Every item stays visibly proposed until maintainers approve scope. “Shipped” will require a release and public evidence.
Select an openly licensed Verilog design and specify the supported OpenROAD toolchain.
Automate lint, synthesis and report capture with pinned versions and deterministic inputs.
Publish reviewed artifacts and document every remaining source of nondeterminism.
Proof board
Forefront will not manufacture activity to make a prelaunch project look alive. Evidence appears here only when it exists.
Follow the mission
Independent project. Forefront Silicon uses TSM as a thematic pair. It is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by TSMC, Pons, Robinhood or any tokenized-asset issuer. Availability depends on third-party eligibility rules and jurisdiction.
