MPW / Shuttle access

X-FAB 0.18μm MPW

Plan a 0.18μm multi-project wafer run at X-FAB 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 X-FAB 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 X-FAB's line on schedule.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Working with X-FAB 0.18μm MPW through TOMPW

Can TOMPW arrange a 0.18μm MPW shuttle at X-FAB?

Yes. TOMPW coordinates 0.18μm MPW and shuttle access at X-FAB 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 X-FAB typically include?

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

How long does a 0.18μm MPW cycle take at X-FAB?

Cycle time depends on X-FAB'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 X-FAB?

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 X-FAB and downstream partners.
