Multi-Project Wafer Runs
We have started a Multi-Project Wafer (MPW) Runs of Full-Custom Pitch Adapters to allow the acquisition at a reasonable cost of small quantities of custom fan-ins.
Why Choose Multi-Project Wafer Runs?
The main characteristics are:
Sharing Costs
- Several PA designs in a single wafer mask
- One batch
- Sharing costs among many users for small series
Passivation
- Passivated or not passivated
- Most cases (experiments, prototyping) do not need passivation
