uoft's hardware hacking collective
semiconductors • chip fabrication • building with silicon

// what we build

we design and fabricate semiconductors, build custom processors, and push the limits of what's possible with silicon.

from cleanroom fabrication to high-frequency circuit design, we get our hands dirty with real hardware.
