This document discusses the impact of Moore's law on LSI design and fabrication. It notes that while Moore's law enabled faster computers and widespread applications, it also drastically increased costs and required non-disclosure agreements. The document then introduces the MakeLSI project, which aims to make LSI development accessible to all by providing open-source design rules, libraries, tools, and foundry access for NDA-free circuit design and fabrication. The goal is for technology to become a tool for everyone, not just specialists.
