MPW / Shuttle access
Tower 0.25μm MPW
Plan a 0.25μm multi-project wafer run at Tower 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 0.25μm
0.25μm 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 0.25μm MPW at Tower involves
A 0.25μm 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 Tower's line on schedule.

Working with Tower 0.25μm MPW through TOMPW
Can TOMPW arrange a 0.25μm MPW shuttle at Tower?
Yes. TOMPW coordinates 0.25μm MPW and shuttle access at Tower for overseas teams, handling slot selection, EDA checks and logistics so your design reaches the shared mask on schedule.
What does a 0.25μm MPW run at Tower typically include?
A 0.25μm MPW run bundles your design onto a shared reticle with other projects, covering mask share, wafer fabrication at Tower, and standard probe. Packaging, final test and NTO transition are planned separately with TOMPW.
How long does a 0.25μm MPW cycle take at Tower?
Cycle time depends on Tower's shuttle cadence for 0.25μm, 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 0.25μm MPW at Tower?
After a successful 0.25μm MPW, teams typically move to NTO or full-mask production. TOMPW helps plan that transition, including package selection, test development and volume ramp through Tower and downstream partners.
