@User Just wondering if you've been able to find out about the substrate type from SkyWater (non-epi versus epi)? Thanks!

I emailed them, and so did Mohamed Kassem, and neither of us has heard anything back.

@Tim Edwards, @mkk FYI -- I just found out from a reliable source that the substrates are non-epi.

Okay, thanks. If SkyWater comes back eventually and contradicts your source, I'll let you know. Otherwise, I'll take that as the answer.

So I assume that bulk substrate implies higher substrate resistivity - not bad for noise isolation. I see from the layer doc that we have iso p-well and deep n-well to help make our own isolation areas.
