MPW / Shuttle access
Sai Micro 8-inch MEMS MPW
Plan a 8-inch MEMS multi-project wafer run at Sai Micro through TOMPW Service. We coordinate shared-mask access, EDA sign-off, shuttle scheduling and the downstream packaging or test path for global chip teams.
Why 8-inch MEMS
8-inch MEMS is one of the process options TOMPW coordinates as a shared-mask MPW run at the partner foundry. We handle slot selection, EDA checks and logistics so your design reaches the line on schedule.
What a 8-inch MEMS MPW at Sai Micro involves
A 8-inch MEMS 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 Sai Micro's line on schedule.

Notes for 8-inch MEMS programs
- Sai Micro is the China-based MEMS manufacturing arm of Sai MicroElectronics; Silex Microsystems (Sweden, already a TOMPW partner) is its subsidiary.
- MEMS engagements are process- and design-based rather than standard CMOS MPW shuttles; TOMPW can help scope a Sai Micro MEMS program.

Working with Sai Micro 8-inch MEMS MPW through TOMPW
Can TOMPW arrange a 8-inch MEMS MPW shuttle at Sai Micro?
Yes. TOMPW coordinates 8-inch MEMS MPW and shuttle access at Sai Micro for overseas teams, handling slot selection, EDA checks and logistics so your design reaches the shared mask on schedule.
What does a 8-inch MEMS MPW run at Sai Micro typically include?
A 8-inch MEMS MPW run bundles your design onto a shared reticle with other projects, covering mask share, wafer fabrication at Sai Micro, and standard probe. Packaging, final test and NTO transition are planned separately with TOMPW.
How long does a 8-inch MEMS MPW cycle take at Sai Micro?
Cycle time depends on Sai Micro's shuttle cadence for 8-inch MEMS, 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 8-inch MEMS MPW at Sai Micro?
After a successful 8-inch MEMS MPW, teams typically move to NTO or full-mask production. TOMPW helps plan that transition, including package selection, test development and volume ramp through Sai Micro and downstream partners.
