In this course you will learn the foundations of integrated-circuit design with a special focus on open-source tools. Over the semester, you and your teammates will build a processor with custom extensions to accelerate Post-Quantum Cryptography. The final design will then be sent to a fab to produce a real chip. Depending on the chosen provider, you will receive one or multiple copies of your design, which you can take home.
