MPW / Shuttle access
Silex Microsystems Wafer-level packaging MPW
Plan a Wafer-level packaging multi-project wafer run at Silex Microsystems 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 Wafer-level packaging
Wafer-level packaging 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 Wafer-level packaging MPW at Silex Microsystems involves
A Wafer-level packaging 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 Silex Microsystems'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.

Notes for Wafer-level packaging programs
- Silex is a dedicated MEMS foundry (no standard CMOS MPW shuttle); engagements are process- and design-based.
- TOMPW can help scope a Silex MEMS program from prototyping to volume.

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