MPW / Shuttle access
STMicroelectronics RF-SOI MPW
Plan a RF-SOI multi-project wafer run at STMicroelectronics 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 RF-SOI
RF SOI is the dominant platform for antenna switches and tuners in mobile front-ends. TOMPW coordinates RF-SOI MPW access for connectivity and 5G devices.
Typical applications
- ✓5G / mobile RF front-end
- ✓Antenna switches and tuners
- ✓WiFi and connectivity
- ✓Satellite RF
What a RF-SOI MPW at STMicroelectronics involves
A RF-SOI 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 STMicroelectronics'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 RF-SOI programs
- ST is an IDM with a premium-foundry engagement model; TOMPW can help qualify a ST technology for your program.
- ST invented BCD and leads SiGe BiCMOS on 300 mm wafers in Europe.

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