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.

Node: RF-SOIMPW, NTO and production evaluation

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.

✓Premium foundry / technology licensing

✓Smart-power BCD platforms

✓RF and mmWave BiCMOS

✓MEMS sensing and actuation

✓Wide-bandgap SiC and GaN

COMMON QUESTIONS

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 and wafer fabrication at STMicroelectronics. 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 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.
