form larger more complicated electrical functions.

Chips4Makers (also NLnet funded) created FlexLib Libre/Open Cell
Libraries which allows porting of Standard Cell Libraries to any geometry.
An NDA'd TSMC 180nm version of FlexLib was created for the Libre-SOC

create smaller geometry ports of FlexLib. These Cell Libraries need to
be tested in actual Silicon, and consequently we will be working with
