MPW / Shuttle access

UMC 0.18μm MPW

Plan a 0.18μm multi-project wafer run at UMC 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 0.18μm

0.18μm 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 0.18μm MPW at UMC involves

A 0.18μm 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 UMC's line on schedule.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Working with UMC 0.18μm MPW through TOMPW

Can TOMPW arrange a 0.18μm MPW shuttle at UMC?

Yes. TOMPW coordinates 0.18μm MPW and shuttle access at UMC for overseas teams, handling slot selection, EDA checks and logistics so your design reaches the shared mask on schedule.

What does a 0.18μm MPW run at UMC typically include?

A 0.18μm MPW run bundles your design onto a shared reticle with other projects, covering mask share, wafer fabrication at UMC, and standard probe. Packaging, final test and NTO transition are planned separately with TOMPW.

How long does a 0.18μm MPW cycle take at UMC?

Cycle time depends on UMC's shuttle cadence for 0.18μm, 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 0.18μm MPW at UMC?

After a successful 0.18μm MPW, teams typically move to NTO or full-mask production. TOMPW helps plan that transition, including package selection, test development and volume ramp through UMC and downstream partners.
