Universal Multi-Project Wafer Schedule for teams preparing first silicon

Is MPW the right path for you?

MPW is typically the right choice if you:

Are doing first silicon or an early respin
Want to de-risk architecture before full mask
Have low initial volume
Expect 1–3 design iterations
Need fast learning, not lowest unit cost

MPW is usually not the right choice if:

You are already in production
You need special process options not supported on shuttles
Your design is frozen and volume is high
