MPW / Shuttle access

Tower 65nm MPW

Plan a 65nm 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.

Node: 65nmMPW, NTO and production evaluation

Why 65nm

65nm is a widely available, low-cost node with mature PDKs and ample IP. TOMPW coordinates 65nm MPW shuttles for prototype and volume production alike.

Typical applications

✓MCU and IoT chips
✓Mixed-signal and RF
✓PMIC and consumer ICs
✓Industrial applications

What a 65nm MPW at Tower involves

A 65nm 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.

✓MEMS process coordination

✓Photonics platform support

✓SiGe BiCMOS for RF and mmWave

COMMON QUESTIONS

Working with Tower 65nm MPW through TOMPW

Can TOMPW arrange a 65nm MPW shuttle at Tower?

Yes. TOMPW coordinates 65nm 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 65nm MPW run at Tower typically include?

A 65nm 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 65nm MPW cycle take at Tower?

Cycle time depends on Tower's shuttle cadence for 65nm, 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 65nm MPW at Tower?

After a successful 65nm 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.
