Mature-node MPW coordination RFQ
Scope
Submit a high-level 2026 HHGrace mature-node MPW RFQ for 90nm, 55nm or 40nm platform screening. MST Singapore helps screen node, process-family, PDK/NDA, package/test and partner-confirmed shuttle fit without accepting GDS, netlists or design IP.
Use these public platform categories for first screening only. Exact schedule window, PDK/NDA path, partner acceptance and quotation are confirmed after review.

Buyer decision packet
What a serious MPW RFQ should clarify
MST starts with a non-confidential screen. The goal is to prepare a reviewable packet before any design database, PDK material, or partner-restricted file changes hands.

Feasibility and process-fit screen
Readiness gap list
Indicative cost and schedule range
Package/test option recommendation
Tapeout readiness checklist
What drives quote and schedule
Node and process family, including special options such as BCD, RF, HV, eNVM, image sensor, MEMS, or mixed-signal support.
Estimated die area, reticle share assumptions, prototype sample count, and whether wafer-only, bare-die, or packaged samples are needed.
PDK and NDA status, including whether the buyer already has access or needs a partner-approved access path.
Packaging, wafer probe, packaged-test, load-board, reliability, and logistics scope.
Target tapeout window, shuttle availability, partner acceptance, and whether the request must wait for a matching demand pool.
Customer country, customer type, end-use, export review, and any sensitive application flags.
Safe first RFQ example
Use this shape for first contact. Keep it high-level and non-confidential.
Node target: 180nm or 130nm mature-node mixed-signal. No GDS, no OASIS, no netlists, no RTL, no PDK files. Design type: analog front-end plus digital control, industrial sensing application, non-defense end use. Die estimate: 5-20 mm2; target samples: 25-100 packaged units if feasible. Package/test: QFN preferred, wafer probe helpful, packaged functional test needed after assembly. Timeline: flexible 3-6 month tapeout window; PDK/NDA path needed. Buyer context: company country, customer type, work email, and non-confidential project constraints.
After submission
MST reviews the non-confidential summary and flags missing fields.
MST checks customer, country, end-use, PDK/NDA, package/test, and schedule risks.
Qualified requests are shaped into a partner-review packet for human confirmation.
MST follows up by work email with next questions, hold reason, or an indicative quote path.
Can help with
MPW / shuttle feasibility screening
Screen whether a request looks suitable for a shared MPW, shuttle, or partner-confirmed tapeout route.
Mature-node and specialty-process routing
Collect requirements for mature logic, analog/mixed-signal, RF, high-voltage, BCD/power, eNVM/eFlash, sensor, MEMS, or packaging-related routes.
PDK / NDA access path
Identify the likely agreement path before confidential PDK or design-rule material is shared.
Packaging and test coordination
Clarify package, assembly, test-board, sample, and delivery expectations before quotation.
Scope
Join a mature-node and specialty-process MPW demand pool before sharing design IP. MST collects high-level RFQs from overseas fabless teams, universities, research labs and industrial chip groups, then screens node fit, process family, die-area range, PDK/NDA path, package/test needs, schedule window, country profile and end use. No GDS, OASIS, netlists, RTL, source code, PDK files or proprietary IP are accepted at intake.
Process pools
2026 HHGrace mature-node MPW platform intake
Public RFQ intake is open for non-confidential screening. Schedule windows, PDK/NDA path, availability, and quotation are confirmed case by case after requirement review.
90nm low-power BCD
For BCD and power-management prototype requirements where voltage, package/test and sample assumptions need partner-confirmed screening.
90nm embedded eFlash
For embedded non-volatile memory and mixed-signal prototype RFQs that can start with a high-level non-confidential brief.
55nm SiGe BiCMOS
For RF, high-speed and mixed-signal prototype screening where process fit, PDK/NDA and package/test scope must be checked before routing.
55nm BCD low-power
For low-power BCD and power-management inquiries that need node, voltage, die-area, schedule and end-use review.
55nm logic / eFlash
For logic or embedded-Flash prototype needs where MST can prepare a reviewable RFQ before design IP exchange.
40nm logic / eFlash
For customers evaluating 40nm logic, low-power or embedded-Flash prototype routes. Partner acceptance and schedule fit are required.
28/22nm case-by-case review
No public slot, pricing, or route guarantee; customer, country, end-use, partner, and PDK/NDA review required.
Workflow
1. Intake
Collect high-level requirements and target constraints without receiving design IP.
2. Process-fit screen
Check whether node, design type, die area, package/test needs, and country profile are routeable.
3. PDK/NDA path
Identify the correct PDK access path, NDA requirement, and readiness gaps.
4. Partner confirmation
Route qualified requests to a manufacturing, shuttle, packaging, or test partner for human confirmation.
Required input
Only a valid email address is required for first contact. Company, country/region, process node, project summary and all other technical details are optional and may be shared later. Do not send confidential design files through public intake.

Market reference
Public MPW market reference
Mature-node shared MPW pricing is commonly area-based and partner-specific; public providers often separate shuttle windows, wafer run, packaging, test, and extra samples.
Review gate
Mature-node MPW is generally lower-risk than advanced-node tapeout, but every RFQ still passes customer, country, end-use, PDK/NDA, and partner-acceptance screening. No design IP intake before the proper NDA and partner-confirmed route.

What information should be submitted at intake?
Only a valid email address is required for first contact. Company, country/region, process node, project summary and all other technical details are optional and may be shared later. Do not send confidential design files through public intake.
Can confidential design files be uploaded through public intake?
Non-confidential intake only. Do not upload or paste GDS, OASIS, netlists, RTL, source code, PDK files, proprietary design IP, or export-controlled technical files.
Does MST review compliance or risk before routing this RFQ?
Mature-node MPW is generally lower-risk than advanced-node tapeout, but every RFQ still passes customer, country, end-use, PDK/NDA, and partner-acceptance screening. No design IP intake before the proper NDA and partner-confirmed route.
