Keep the evidence clean.

SemiAgora Resources is a link-only, rights-aware catalog. It points to official sources and records why each resource matters; it does not mirror PDFs, articles, code, PDK files, datasets, commercial courseware, publisher figures, or paid content.

BENCHMARK GAP CLOSURES

Five missing learner operations are now routed.

Five benchmark gaps are now represented as public site surfaces: practice bank, course packets, fixed-data calculators, a live reproducible GitHub package, and atlas search/filter.

public v1practice-bank

Practice Bank

HDLBits, All About Circuits, ChipVerify, and university sites keep learners returning with repeated questions.

Surface: Static evidence prompts with answer reveal and limitation field.
Route: /practice#evidence-practice-bank

public v1course-packet-index

Course Packet Index

MIT OCW and edX make syllabus, notes, assignments, exams, and outcomes obvious.

Surface: Course cards map notes, lab, worksheet, exam-style check, artifact, and review gate.
Route: /learn#course-packet-operating-map

public v1fixed-data-calculators

Fixed-Data Calculators

Portal and practice sites give users a small thing to do immediately.

Surface: Three browser calculators use bounded teaching data and disclose non-claims.
Route: /tools/calculators

public repo livegithub-reproduction-package

Reproduction Package Spec

OpenROAD, Tiny Tapeout, FOSSi, and VSD turn learning into inspectable artifacts.

Surface: Public package manifest now links the first live GitHub repository and records its no-PDK reproducibility check.
Route: /projects#github-reproduction-package

public v1atlas-search-filter

Atlas Search and Filter

Large portals work because users can search by topic, role, tool, and route instead of scrolling.

Surface: Simulation Atlas now filters by text, topic, engine, and lesson route.
Route: /simulations#atlas-filter-pack

SEMICONDUCTOR TOPIC COVERAGE

Track coverage before the site grows into a pile.

Daily scans now convert broad public topic signals into lanes, coverage status, next study actions, and rights boundaries. The goal is breadth with source discipline: links and original SemiAgora summaries, not copied libraries.

WHAT THIS PAGE IS NOT

No shadow library, no copied courseware, no job scraping.

Link only

Official source first.

Every card points outward. SemiAgora records why a source matters, but the source owner keeps the material.

Evidence clean

Resources do not replace labs.

External pages are context. SemiAgora evidence still requires reproducible inputs, conditions, outputs, and limitations.

Careful growth

Jobs, events, and submissions wait.

Live operations need expiration rules, privacy handling, moderation, and disclosure before they become public features.
