I tried messaging instructors at some Berkeley course and asked if I could watch the videos (didn't get a response). I also followed the Google/efabless program but it doesn't come with any handholding (kudos to the key google engineer who organized it .. he seemed very passionate from the talks/meetups I attended). Ultimately, I got demotivated from my personal quest to fabricate something from scratch. I think FPGAs are the sweet spot .. they let you see what is going on without any of the physics. Good to luck to you on your quest.
