Andrew ZonenbergThe #IEEE conference paper I was working on last year is finally published!
The UC Santa Cruz team did all of the actual silicon design work, while I did the post-silicon bringup, testing, and characterization.

SRAM Design with OpenRAM in SkyWater 130nm
OpenRAM is an open-source framework for the development of memories with an initial focus on SRAMs. OpenRAM provides an application interface for netlist, layout, and characterization to create designs using either open-source or commercial verification and simulation tools. The first silicon in SkyWater <tex xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">$\mathbf{130}nm$</tex> has been successfully verified which includes a 32-bit 1-kilobyte dual-port SRAM macro. This paper presents the first macro design, test setup, test results, and enhancements on a subsequent tape-out.
