I never said I had not experience. In fact, I said I am a physicist with 1 year of masters in electrical engineering. I said I understand, transistor, gate logic and most if the solid state physics stuff related to electronics, since thats what I did for a few years at the university. I said, I had no experience design on a massive scale using current software and compiling the data to the TSMC format. Thats a lot different than no experience or no knowledge of the issue. The reason I know the price per units is because I have a quote from TSMC.
Anyways, I have hired a firm to help out with the design from start to finish. So things will go smoothly now.
Good choice given the nature of the thread thus far, I wish you the best with this and think you may yield some good results depending on the firm you hired.
