MPW / Shuttle access

Samsung Foundry 5nm (SF5) MPW

Plan a 5nm (SF5) 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 5nm (SF5)

5nm (SF5) 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 5nm (SF5) MPW at Samsung Foundry involves

A 5nm (SF5) 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.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Working with Samsung Foundry 5nm (SF5) MPW through TOMPW

Can TOMPW arrange a 5nm (SF5) MPW shuttle at Samsung Foundry?

Yes. TOMPW coordinates 5nm (SF5) 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 5nm (SF5) MPW run at Samsung Foundry typically include?

A 5nm (SF5) 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 5nm (SF5) MPW cycle take at Samsung Foundry?

Cycle time depends on Samsung Foundry's shuttle cadence for 5nm (SF5), 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 5nm (SF5) MPW at Samsung Foundry?

After a successful 5nm (SF5) 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.
