Tutorial for Semicon 2023 Minimaf Fab design contest is available: https://github.com/mineda-support/Semicon2023-MinimalFab-Design-Contest
Design contest reception period is until Nov. 30, 2023, but you can use the document as a tutorial for using the open source minimal fab PDK with open source EDA.
Leo Moser-san has kindly written an excellent tutorial titled 'Design of a NAND gate using the ICPS PDK' on his blog page:
His interview with Matt Ven-san is also worth viewing:
