ArtistIC: An Open-Source Toolchain for Top-Metal IC Art and Ultra-High-Fidelity GDSII Renders
Abstract
Open-source projects require outreach material to grow their community, secure funds, and strengthen their influence. Numbers, specifications, and facts alone are intangible to uninvolved people; using a clear brand and appealing visual material is thus ample to reach a broad audience. This is especially true for application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) during the early stages of the development cycle without running prototype systems. This work presents ArtistIC, an open-source framework to brand ASICs with top-metal art and to render GDSII layouts with ultra-high fidelity reaching render densities below 25 nm/px and gigapixels-scale resolutions.
