KyberFoundry: Australian Semiconductor Initiative (Blue-Sky)

A long-horizon program to build chips from the ground up—turning data → designs → silicon for AI-centric, mixed-signal hardware.

We’ll leverage existing processes in novel ways rather than racing incumbents, and focus on onshoring capability to Australia with a pragmatic, modular toolchain.

What you get (as the program matures):

- Data-to-Chip Pipeline: capture → model → synthesize mixed-signal NN blocks → verify → export for PCB/FPGA/VHDL and, ultimately, silicon.

- MPW & Prototyping Path: multi-project wafer access, shuttle coordination, evaluation boards, and bring-up guides.

- Reference IP & Blocks: sensor front-ends, mixed-signal NN primitives, on-chip routing/control, and test harnesses.

- Packaging & Test: partner labs for assembly, reliability, and characterization.

- Education & Workforce: design-to-tapeout curricula, labs, and certification tracks to grow local talent.

- Access: Partner pathways for universities, startups, and agencies—from design sandboxes and IP evaluations to pilot fabrication runs. Public docs for interfaces and formats; advanced flows and IP under license with support.

Status & CTA:

Blue-sky exploration.

Phases: concept studies → MPW shuttles → pilot line partnerships → domain-specific SKUs.
