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. The main characteristics are:
Multi-Project Wafer (MPW) Runs
•Several PA designs in a single wafer mask
•One batch
•Sharing costs among many users for small series
Passivated or not passivated
•Most cases (experiments, prototyping) do not need passivation
Quantities
•20, 50, 120 units
•Extra orders 40% reduction (if available)
Standard: 0-defects, Untested: (20% reduction)
•Most users do not need 0-defects
Design rules
•Maximum die area: ~500 mm2
•Minimum area: 100 mm2
•Maximum side length: 50 mm
•Minimum feature size: 10 μm
•Minimum separation: 10 μm
•Design review
•Rectangular cut
•Minimum space between last feature and cut line: 200 μm
(Some exceptions may apply, please contact us if you need to break some of the rules)
Design options
•The customer submits full GDS design (according to design rules).
•The customer submits design in gerber or another format.
•The customer describes needs and we provide Full Custom design (Customer final design approval required in last 2 cases).
Schedule
•Runs scheduled when enough participants.
