Logic density
| Core average logic cells per mm² | 24k (31% of buffer maximum) |
|---|---|
| Densest 0.1 mm square logic cells per mm² | 29k (38% of buffer maximum) |
| Core covered by logic | 65% |
| Transistor density transistors per mm² | 288k average, 325k in the 0.1 mm square with the most logic cells |
Every figure here is measured from the public layout, the same way for every design on the chip: see data and method, and how its designs used the process.

Process features
Which parts of the GF180MCU process this design uses: its transistor voltages and where they come from, its gate oxides, and any devices drawn by hand outside the standard cells, SRAM and pads.
| 5 V | 7t-5V standard cells |
|---|---|
| Gate oxides | Thick only (5 V/6 V) in the design itself |
Where the area went
How this project's area splits between logic cells, filler and tap cells and other.
- Logic cells 0.04 mm² (65%)
- Filler and tap cells 0.02 mm² (28%)
- Other 4,033 µm² (7%)

Logic density map
Logic cells per mm² in each 0.1 mm square of the project (counted in the square, scaled up to a mm²). Hatched outlines are SRAM macros; the red outline is the densest 0.1 mm square that avoids them (29k logic cells per mm²), found by sliding a 0.1 mm square over the project in 20 µm steps, so it can straddle the fixed squares and find more than any one of them. Squares at the edges are partial, so they read low.
Tiny Tapeout and wafer.space are independent companies that work together (announcement). Tiny Tapeout runs its own shuttles: it takes the projects, builds the die, and sells and supports the chips and boards. wafer.space has the dies manufactured on its GF180MCU runs, and these pages are wafer.space's measurements of them.
