MPW capacity, package/test, PDK/NDA and design readiness are often discussed in separate conversations.
MPW prototype
Mature-node MPW prototype path
Mature-node MPW prototype teams should not start by sending design files publicly. MST first screens node, process family, die-size range, package/test needs, PDK/NDA status, sample objective and schedule, then routes MPW, packaging/test, design or RFQ next steps with final partner acceptance and quote human-confirmed.
Teams need first-pass feasibility before exposing confidential GDS, netlists, RTL or PDK material.
Academic, startup and industrial prototype teams often need schedule and sample-path screening before formal quote.
What MST routes
What MST routes
Start from the scenario, then enter the correct SKU, MPW, sourcing, design, guide or RFQ path.
MPW hub
Open mature-node MPW screening, node cards and readiness checks.
MPW readinessCheck the first non-confidential fields before RFQ submission.
Pricing factorsUnderstand quote drivers without treating the page as a published price table.
PDK/NDA pathSeparate public screening from NDA-gated design-file exchange.
MPW RFQSubmit the non-confidential MPW coordination RFQ for MST review.
What to prepare
- Target node and process family, or acceptable alternatives.
- Estimated die-size range and design-readiness stage.
- Package/test assumption and sample objective.
- PDK/NDA status, target schedule, customer country and non-confidential end use.
Human-confirmed boundaries
- Public MPW pages are screening surfaces, not foundry bookings or slot reservations.
- Do not send GDS, OASIS, netlists, RTL, PDK files or controlled technical data through public forms.
- Partner acceptance, PDK/NDA access, schedule, quotation and compliance review are confirmed case by case.
Turn this into a non-confidential MST brief
Use the scenario prompt to generate a first routing brief. Price, stock, slot, PDK/NDA path, sample availability and replacement fit are confirmed by MST after review.
