@User They are senior undergraduate students led by a PhD student, @User, (very experienced with PLL & RFIC design). The undergraduates would be involved for the upcoming 2 semesters. I'm not confidence that IO pads we design will be ready for the November tapeout; although I think we might be able to make the deadline if we collaborated with a few more teams. Do you possibly have the email addresses for other groups which have expressed interested in helping with the pads? I'll also reach out to MIT Lincoln Labs; they had someone in their group who created bidirectional pads for us last fall (we also made one, but figured pads provided by our foundry was a safer bet). Hopefully they are still around/ not too busy. @User This is a fantastic list; thank you for giving us plenty of ideas for projects we can assign to our students! Most of those blocks are well within the scope of feasible projects our students can complete.
