MPW / Shuttle access
TSMC 22ULL MPW
Plan a 22ULL multi-project wafer run at TSMC 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 22ULL
22ULL 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 22ULL MPW at TSMC involves
A 22ULL 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 TSMC'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 22ULL programs
- Advanced node programs are evaluated case by case based on schedule and commercial model.
- TOMPW helps coordinate MPW to production transition on TSMC nodes.
- TSMC 22nm (22ULP / 22ULL) MPW block is typically ~6 mm²; >10 mm² die may require a multi-block quote — confirm by project.

Working with TSMC 22ULL MPW through TOMPW
Can TOMPW arrange a 22ULL MPW shuttle at TSMC?
Yes. TOMPW coordinates 22ULL MPW and shuttle access at TSMC for overseas teams, handling slot selection, EDA checks and logistics so your design reaches the shared mask on schedule.
What does a 22ULL MPW run at TSMC typically include?
A 22ULL MPW run bundles your design onto a shared reticle with other projects, covering mask share, wafer fabrication at TSMC, and standard probe. Packaging, final test and NTO transition are planned separately with TOMPW.
How long does a 22ULL MPW cycle take at TSMC?
Cycle time depends on TSMC's shuttle cadence for 22ULL, 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 22ULL MPW at TSMC?
After a successful 22ULL MPW, teams typically move to NTO or full-mask production. TOMPW helps plan that transition, including package selection, test development and volume ramp through TSMC and downstream partners.
