Why 12nm

12nm is a mature FinFET node offering strong performance at a friendlier cost than leading-edge nodes. TOMPW coordinates 12nm MPW runs for teams moving past planar processes.

Typical applications

✓Automotive SoCs
✓Networking ASICs
✓Consumer and IoT applications

What a 12nm MPW at GlobalFoundries involves

A 12nm MPW (multi-project wafer) shuttle places several customer designs on one shared mask set, so each team pays only for its portion of the wafer. TOMPW Service handles slot selection, DRC/LVS review and logistics so your GDSII reaches GlobalFoundries's line on schedule.

✓FD-SOI platform coordination

✓RF and mmWave process support

✓Automotive-grade qualification support

✓SiGe for RF and photonics

COMMON QUESTIONS

Working with GlobalFoundries 12nm MPW through TOMPW

Can TOMPW arrange a 12nm MPW shuttle at GlobalFoundries?

Yes. TOMPW coordinates 12nm MPW and shuttle access at GlobalFoundries for overseas teams, handling slot selection, EDA checks and logistics so your design reaches the shared mask on schedule.

What does a 12nm MPW run at GlobalFoundries typically include?

A 12nm MPW run bundles your design onto a shared reticle with other projects, covering mask share, wafer fabrication at GlobalFoundries, and standard probe. Packaging, final test and NTO transition are planned separately with TOMPW.

How long does a 12nm MPW cycle take at GlobalFoundries?

Cycle time depends on GlobalFoundries's shuttle cadence for 12nm, usually a few months from mask data to returned wafers. Missing a window means waiting for the next one, so TOMPW recommends booking early.

What comes after a 12nm MPW at GlobalFoundries?

After a successful 12nm MPW, teams typically move to NTO or full-mask production. TOMPW helps plan that transition, including package selection, test development and volume ramp through GlobalFoundries and downstream partners.
