These services are wonderful. The chip they make are great for
prototypes, but too expensive for production. I checked the published
prices on the Mosis web site, and for their most advanced silicon, it
comes out to over $1,000 US dollars per part, and the part is untested.
I think for the average guy out there who just whats to make a million
dollars, ASICs are no longer affordable. I want to change that.
