MPW Program
SilTerra's Multi Project Wafer (MPW) program is a cost-effective, multi-project design and IP verification service for Customers and IP providers.
This is a program which runs regularly. The program enables multiple customers to participate while sharing mask costs.
The tentative tape-out schedule is shown as below:
1Q2022 - 4Q2023 MPW Schedule
Note:
- The above schedule is subject to change
- The final GDS database for C18 BCD and eFlash design to be submitted ONE WEEK before the shuttle closing date

Photo Mask Service
SilTerra partners with third party photo mask vendors to offer seamless mask-making services. Our photo mask partners are prudently selected through rigorous product and process qualifications, data checks and inline monitoring to ensure the highest quality in our mask services.
SilTerra’s mask service qualification covers accurate GDS file processing, precise mask data preparation, OPC conversion validation and zero-defect mask manufacturing prior to the delivery of these photo masks to SilTerra for wafer production.
With stringent photo mask qualification procedures in place, SilTerra is able to ensure that the photo masks shipped to the fab are accurately matched and optimized for SilTerra’s process capabilities, which will in turn ensure repetitive high wafer yield for our customers’ products.
Below are SilTerra’s qualified Photo Mask vendors:
