Multi Project Wafer
The CEDEC Multi-Project-Wafer (MPW) coordination with Silterra program is intentionally introduced whereby the participants from the local institutions will benefit an affordable fabrication cost for the design utilizing 0.18um, 0.13um or 0.11um Silterra CMOS technology (for Malaysian university ONLY). Multiple projects will be placed in a single wafer where the whole mask cost is shared together.
MPW new structure begin in late 2010 in which shows the close cooperation between CEDEC and Silterra. Initially Silterra is responsible for receiving each GDSII file that is sent by the universities in Malaysia for the fabrication, but in forming the new structure, CEDEC works with Silterra to expedite the process for the chip designed by the university.
CEDEC has partnered with Silterra in Malaysia to allow the later process technologies be made available for low-cost prototyping to universities through a multi-project-wafer (MPW). At present the following MPW technologies are available from Silterra.
