Open source, license free Silicon Photonics rapid prototyping foundry. We exist to turn your ideas into reality.
About us
CORNERSTONE is an open source, license free Silicon Photonics rapid prototyping foundry operating from the Universities of Southampton & Glasgow in the UK. We established CORNERSTONE as we had a vision for a “researcher’s” foundry, where new ideas could be tested away from rigid process flows and PDKs hidden in IP black boxes. From the outset, we were adamant that everything would be open-source to facilitate innovation and advance the field in a more collaborative and transparent manner. We base our fabrication capability around deep-UV lithography to simplify the scale-up process. Our initial goal was to serve the UK academic community, but our vision quickly gained global resonance. Now, we proudly support collaborators in over 20 countries.
