    Once a chip design is complete, it is taped out for manufacturing. Tapeout gets its name
from the old practice of writing a specification of masks to magnetic tape; today, the mask
descriptions are usually sent to the manufacturer electronically. Two common formats for
mask descriptions are the Caltech Interchange Format (CIF) [Mead80] (mainly used in
academia) and the Calma GDS II Stream Format (GDS) [Calma84] (used in industry).

tape out等同于中文的流片

其实它们的来源各不相同，英文tape out的来源上面已经有很多人解释了。
而中文流片的来源是因为芯片的生产都是流水线生产的，芯片从整个流水线生产出来，就称之为“流片”了。
