MPW / Shuttle access
Samsung Foundry 130nm MPW
Plan a 130nm multi-project wafer run at Samsung Foundry 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 130nm
130nm is a low-cost node with strong analog, BCD and RF capabilities. TOMPW coordinates 130nm MPW shuttles for power and mixed-signal designs.
Typical applications
- ✓Power management (BCD)
- ✓Analog and mixed-signal
- ✓RF and sensor ICs
- ✓Automotive and industrial
What a 130nm MPW at Samsung Foundry involves
A 130nm 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 Samsung Foundry's line on schedule.
Step 1
GDSII & spec
Share your GDSII, target node and tape-out window.
Step 2
Slot & mask share
TOMPW books the next shuttle and aligns mask share.
Step 3
Wafer, package, test
Wafers returned, then package/test aligned as needed.

Working with Samsung Foundry 130nm MPW through TOMPW
Can TOMPW arrange a 130nm MPW shuttle at Samsung Foundry?
Yes. TOMPW coordinates 130nm MPW and shuttle access at Samsung Foundry for overseas teams, handling slot selection, EDA checks and logistics so your design reaches the shared mask on schedule.
What does a 130nm MPW run at Samsung Foundry typically include?
A 130nm MPW run bundles your design onto a shared reticle with other projects, covering mask share and wafer fabrication at Samsung Foundry. Wafer-level probe is included only on the shuttles that offer it, so we confirm probe coverage for the specific run before you commit. Packaging, final test and the NTO transition are scoped separately with TOMPW.
How long does a 130nm MPW cycle take at Samsung Foundry?
Cycle time depends on Samsung Foundry's shuttle cadence for 130nm, 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 130nm MPW at Samsung Foundry?
After a successful 130nm MPW, teams typically move to NTO or full-mask production. TOMPW helps plan that transition, including package selection, test development and volume ramp through Samsung Foundry and downstream partners.
PLAN & ESTIMATE
Calculators for your 130nm MPW
Estimate dies per wafer, split shared-mask cost and model unit economics before you commit to a shuttle slot.
Die Per Wafer Calculator
Count complete dies from Shot/Field layouts with flat or notched wafer boundaries, edge clearance and optional yield estimates.
Open tool →MPW Cost Sharing Calculator
Allocate an agreed MPW shared cost by booked block area and block count, without predicting delivered dies.
Open tool →Wafer & Unit Cost Calculator
Turn a wafer run into a per-chip cost: dies per wafer, yield, packaging and test, plus a target margin.
Open tool →Tape-out Budget Estimator
Full program model: DPW, yield, packaging, HBM, test, NRE and volume → unit cost, price and gross margin.
