MPW prototypes for South Korea chip teams
HHGrace 90/55/40 nm shuttles for fabless, startup and research teams. Start with a plain description of the chip.
SHORT ANSWER
How does a South Korea team start?
Send the chip function, design stage, rough die area, timing and what you need back. MST replies with the process that fits, the shuttle window and a quote.
FOUR QUESTIONS
What decides your MPW project
Application and process fit
Chip function and device needs, not only a node.
Design and PDK readiness
Concept, schematic, layout, DRC/LVS or tape-out-ready GDSII.
Package and test
Bare die, packaged samples, wafer probe or electrical test.
Schedule and quantity
Target window, die area, sample quantity and end use.
CHECKLISTS
What to send, what to keep
01What to send first
- Company, work email and location in South Korea
- Chip function and end use
- Target node or process family, if known
- Design stage: concept, schematic, layout, DRC/LVS or GDSII
- Rough die area
- Target timing
- Bare die, package, wafer probe or test needs
- PDK/NDA status
02What not to send
- GDSII, OASIS, RTL, netlists, source code or PDK files
- Confidential customer names or circuit details
EXAMPLEA good first messageShow example →Hide example ×
South Korea fabless team, mixed-signal control IC. Node: 55 nm preferred, open to advice. Stage: schematic done, layout not started. Need: packaged samples with basic electrical test. Timing: prototype in H1 2027.
PUBLIC SOURCE
Where the process data comes from
Node and process information comes from Hua Hong Semiconductor's 2025 annual report. Availability for your design is confirmed in the quote.

Common questions
Can we start before GDSII is ready?
Yes. A plain description of function, design stage, die area, timing and package/test needs is enough to start.
Does a 90, 55 or 40 nm label mean a shuttle is available?
Not by itself. Process fit, PDK access, slot and capacity are confirmed in the quote.
What about PDK and NDA access?
Tell us whether you already have access. The quote lists the PDK and NDA steps for your project.
Should we upload design files?
No. Do not send GDSII, OASIS, RTL, netlists, source code or PDK files through the website.
What happens after we send the form?
MST replies by email with the process that fits, the shuttle window and a quote, or asks for what is missing.
