MPW / Shuttle access

IHP 250nm MPW

Plan a 250nm multi-project wafer run at IHP through TOMPW Service. We coordinate shared-mask access, EDA sign-off, shuttle scheduling and the downstream packaging or test path for global chip teams.

Node: 250nmMPW, NTO and production evaluation

Why 250nm

250nm (0.25µm) is a specialty node for high-voltage and analog-rich ICs. TOMPW coordinates 250nm MPW access with BCD and HV process options.

Typical applications

✓High-voltage analog
✓BCD power ICs
✓Industrial and automotive
✓Sensor interfaces

What a 250nm MPW at IHP involves

A 250nm 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 IHP's line on schedule.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Working with IHP 250nm MPW through TOMPW

Can TOMPW arrange a 250nm MPW shuttle at IHP?

Yes. TOMPW coordinates 250nm MPW and shuttle access at IHP for overseas teams, handling slot selection, EDA checks and logistics so your design reaches the shared mask on schedule.

What does a 250nm MPW run at IHP typically include?

A 250nm MPW run bundles your design onto a shared reticle with other projects, covering mask share, wafer fabrication at IHP, and standard probe. Packaging, final test and NTO transition are planned separately with TOMPW.

How long does a 250nm MPW cycle take at IHP?

Cycle time depends on IHP's shuttle cadence for 250nm, 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 250nm MPW at IHP?

After a successful 250nm MPW, teams typically move to NTO or full-mask production. TOMPW helps plan that transition, including package selection, test development and volume ramp through IHP and downstream partners.
