About this site

At GDSFactory, we believe chip design should be accessible to everyone — not just those at billion-dollar companies with proprietary tools. Our mission is to democratize chip design by providing powerful, open-source tools that are easy to use, well-documented, and community-driven. Whether you're a student, researcher, startup, or curious builder, GDSFactory gives you the freedom to design, simulate, and validate chips — all from a Python script. No gatekeeping. Just a clear path from idea to tapeout.
