Hello, everyone.
Is there anyone who doesn't know the semiconductor process?
I'll let you know briefly.


circuit design (Completed or modified (mask-making))
Product specification selection -> Design -> Verification -> Synthesis -> Backend -> sample manufacturing test

* Brainchip has already completed the circuit design.
(I think MPW verification is included.)
* Wafer obtained during circuit design is MPW.
* Brainchip made MPW into an evaluation board.
(Evaluation Board is available to EAP customers)

You don't have to worry about the akida chip because the mpw has arrived and the verification is complete.


semiconductor process (ongoing)
Circuit design -> Mask fabrication ->If Brainchip receives an order call-> wafer manufacturing -> wafer processing -> Wafer test -> packaging -> inspection(akida nsoc Final test)


Brainchip tested akida sample during circuit design.
So Brainchip said they'd make a production mask in the fourth quarter.
Softwares can be easily modified, but masks cannot be modified easily.
Because mask manufacturing cost is expensive.
(I believe brain chip will make masks well..)

Brainchip is proceeding well as planned.
