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...
—As the VLSI manufacturing technology advances into the deep sub-micron(DSM) era, the mask cost can reach one or two million dollars. Multiple project wafers (MPW) which put diï¬...
- 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...
