Skywater, Libre Silicon are other alternatives:

First Google-Sponsored MPW Shuttle Launched at SkyWater with 40 Open
Source Community Submitted Designs

Collaboration among SkyWater, Efabless and Google enables industry's
first open source ASICs

BLOOMINGTON, Minn. and SAN JOSE, Calif. - April 6, 2021 -
SkyWater Technology, the trusted technology realization partner, and
Efabless, a crowdsourcing design platform for custom silicon, today
announced the first tapeout in a series of Google-sponsored open
source multi-project wafer (MPW) shuttles, managed by Efabless and
manufactured at SkyWater. In this partnership, open source designs
were selected to be fabricated at no cost to designers. The design
submission process was open for 30 days, generating 1700 downloads
in the first two weeks and filling all 40 available slots.
Additional designs will be accommodated starting in the next MPW
shuttle run which is anticipated in mid-2021. The designs utilize
SkyWater's 130 nm open process design kit which has been made
publicly available.

The program illustrates the potential of applying open source to all
levels of IC design to improve access to resources such as design
tools, IP, and foundry process design kits (PDKs) that can be shared
by a larger pool of individuals with specialized skill sets. To
enable wider engagement from the community, Efabless has developed
Caravel, a carrier RISC-V based System on Chip that includes all the
housekeeping functions that support users' designs and acts as a
standard test harness. This further reduces barriers to design,
prototyping and verification. Every project owner will receive four
development boards with their design plus additional parts for other
uses.
