—Multi-project wafer (MPW) is commonly used for low-volume IC production. In this paper, we study whether it can be used for medium-volume production. Cost equations are develope...
Multi-project wafer having several chips placed on the same reticle to lower mask cost is key to low-volume IC fabrication. In this paper1 , we proposed two MILP models for simult...
- Chip floorplan in a reticle for Multi-Project Wafer (MPW) plays a key role in deciding chip fabrication cost. In this paper1 , we propose a methodology to explore reticle floopla...
This paper carries out a comparative study on the methods of dicing multi-project wafers (MPW). Our dicing method results in using 40% fewer wafers both for low and high volume pr...
A number of industry trends are shaping the requirements for IC and electronic equipment design. The density and complexity of circuit technologies have increased to a point where...
