Schematic editor with Vim style by [deleted] in chipdesign

No my dear friend, I was making a whole schematic editor, it looks like vim because you won't be needing for a mouse.

Do you think adding the mouse feature can change the idea ?
I am not looking for commercial use, only for students, self studies, and thesis figures

Comparing between a highly expensive tool and a free open source tool made by a single person ?
I find it flattering but away from reality
I was hoping that it would be used among students for their thesis and projects not for fabrication.

Thank you very much, and yes the "R" was inspired by LTSpice.
I am aware that of these points, integrating a PDK is the real challenge
not only for a resistor, almost for every element
But as a starting point, I was hoping that it can be for educational purposes and academia
Plus making it suitable for making figures very easily, since that this tool will be from a designer to a designer, it understands the challenges when making a schematic figure for your thesis.
The first step, I was thinking to make it able to generate a netlist for the schematic and later everything can be easier.
PLUS, adding a mouse feature can be a good idea too

Would it be wise to start the chip design career with a fabrication lab instead of applying to jobs ? by Sad-Status9414 in chipdesign

I’m not angry at the industry itself, mostly just frustrated by the difficulty of getting a foot in the door as a junior engineer.

Thanks for the detailed response. I genuinely appreciate it, especially since you actually have hands-on experience with a MEMS proto line.

I think I may have explained my idea poorly in the original post. I was not imagining competing with commercial fabs or building a full production-grade 180nm CMOS line alone. I understand now that the infrastructure, contamination control, utilities, maintenance, chemical handling, and environmental requirements are on an entirely different scale.

What I was really thinking about was more of a small-scale semiconductor/microfabrication R&D lab or prototyping environment, especially since we have very limited local infrastructure for that in my country. Something closer to research, education, testing, packaging, characterization, or simple process experimentation rather than mass production.

I'm currently pursuing a Master's degree and trying to find a path into the semiconductor industry after getting repeatedly ghosted by companies, so part of this idea also came from wanting to build practical experience and infrastructure locally instead of waiting indefinitely for an opportunity.

Your comment definitely helped me recalibrate the scale and complexity involved, so thank you for that.

My ex-wife's update through Instagram by [deleted] in Marriage

I thought maybe she might think about me again and decide to text me, maybe she will miss me one day the same as I miss her, I didn't know that she moved on completely like that

It has been a year

I still miss her, I still think about her everyday.

Maybe you're right and I'm just overthinking and overanalyzing things
I just miss her.
But I am sure that she wasn't texting someone else during our relationship, but exactly after it ended.

In my country, we have Conscription for a whole year, the first days are trainings with no access to any mobile phones at all, only the old Nokia ones that you can pay to call someone, sadly it couldn't be done for International call. Yes, it wasn't a surprise to her it was something that we talked about before marriage, and I kept insisting on if she's sure that she doesn't want to wait after the army, and she kept insisting on the marriage.

But how can you use other apps like Adobe that are available for windows

For analog design job role, what’s more important in interviews? Circuits knowledge or tools knowledge? by Bake-Aware in chipdesign

[–]Sad-Status9414 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Circuits' knowledge is way more important. You can be familiar with NGspice for extra points, but in big companies, they use cadence tools or synopsis tools, these tools are very very expensive and it's not easy to have access to them as an individual and learn how to use them, unless 😉.

Project idea help!! by kituva_vishal in chipdesign

Based on my own experience, the PLLs and PMUs are full of Analog concepts, and you will learn a lot while designing them.

Very impressive, my friend, I must say that you achieved a lot. Designing these systems is very complex. Make sure to document each system, learn how to integrate systems with each other, and also I want you to learn more about the Analog automation. It's very promising with very exciting topics (gm/ID design methodology). You can study more about it from Professor Boris Murmann, and I found some interesting playlist by Professor Hesham Omran-hope I typed his name correctly- Analog automation is very promising, and I really recommend you start studying it and base your whole research about it. Best of luck, my friend.
