> Aren't there universities where students make their own chips?

Chips by students in a VLSI design class are generally made via Mosis.org=
,
not on-site at the university.  Mosis is a clearinghouse that combines ma=
ny
small chip orders onto single wafers that are manufactured at a commercia=
l
fab.  It looks like they'll take orders from anyone (starting at several
thousand dollars), not just students.
