I wonder if you could answer some more questions about the project,

I have been reading the wikipedia article about ASICs:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Application-specific_integrated_circuit

Q: I assume you will be using the Standard-cell Design described in the article.  Is this correct?

A: yes

after a long time, we finally finished our research and emulation. now it's time to go.

Q: How many of the 7 steps described in the Standard-cell Design section of the article are you saying have been completed?  All of them?

will finish all of them before 10.20

Q: I am also assuming that you plan to use a Multi Project Wafer, as described near the end of the article, where your project shares a mask with a bunch of other small projects.  Is this correct?

no. MPW is only a step of this project, for the sample batch. finally we will have a full wafer.

1, an introduction & pre-order website for out-China customers will online around 9.23. multiple payment methods are acceptable.

Q: Will the finished products ship from China?

yes

2, this Project will handle by a highly experienced team, they have 10+ years of ASIC development experience, include all design process. also, they are very trustworthy, their leader is one of my teachers.

Q: Can you tell us about the team?  How many members are on it, and who does what?

sorry, no. this information is strictly confidential. .

Please forgive the large number of questions, but I would love to see them answered before investing such a large sum in the development of the product.
