MPW / Shuttle access

UMC 22ULR MPW

Plan a 22ULR 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 22ULR

22ULR 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 22ULR MPW at UMC involves

A 22ULR 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.

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 22ULR programs

UMC is especially strong for mixed-signal programs that do not require advanced nodes.
TOMPW can coordinate multi-project wafer runs to reduce NRE.
UMC 22nm (22ULR) MPW block is typically ~6 mm²; >10 mm² die may require a multi-block quote — confirm by project.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Working with UMC 22ULR MPW through TOMPW

Can TOMPW arrange a 22ULR MPW shuttle at UMC?

Yes. TOMPW coordinates 22ULR 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 22ULR MPW run at UMC typically include?

A 22ULR 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 22ULR MPW cycle take at UMC?

Cycle time depends on UMC's shuttle cadence for 22ULR, 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 22ULR MPW at UMC?

After a successful 22ULR 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.
