Notes

  • AWSC is a dedicated III-V (GaAs) foundry; TOMPW can coordinate MPW or dedicated GaAs runs.
  • Suited to customers needing compound-semiconductor RF without owning a fab.

Plan the manufacturing route

Compare the process requirements with the package and test path before selecting a manufacturing route. Confirm the PDK, supplier acceptance, commercial terms and delivery scope in the project proposal.

Discuss AWSC for Your Program

Share the application, process requirements and target quantities. TOMPW will review feasibility and identify the access, package and test conditions to confirm for AWSC.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Planning a AWSC project

Can TOMPW arrange MPW or shuttle runs at AWSC?

TOMPW reviews MPW, NTO and full-mask options for AWSC projects. Process acceptance, PDK access, run availability, quantities and delivery dates are confirmed for the specific project before booking.

What support does TOMPW provide beyond the wafer at AWSC?

TOMPW can scope packaging, final test, PCB and assembly work alongside the wafer requirements. The package route, responsible suppliers, test coverage and acceptance criteria are agreed in the project proposal.

How do I get a quote for a AWSC engagement?

Email market@tompwservice.com with the application, target process, program stage, volume and package or test needs. Start with non-confidential requirements; design files can follow through an agreed secure handoff.
