Multi-Project Wafer (MPW) and Low-Volume Production (LVP)
Services
Multi-Project Wafer
(MPW), or Multi-Project Chip and Low Volume Production (LVP)
fabrication services are offered by IP Servicing Centre (IPSC) for
fabrication of VLSI circuit development (semiconductor). The MPW
fabrication service can reduce the cost for chip-design prototyping
by aggregating multiple designs onto one mask set. Customers share
the overhead costs associated with mask making, wafer fabrication,
and assembly. A small quantity of die (e.g. 40) is obtained. MPW
shuttles are scheduled regularly for fabrication.
The Low Volume Production service is designed for customers
with large quantities of order (e.g. 24 wafers) of fabrication.
IPSC offers Low-Volume Production (fabrication) service for
selective foundries only. The Low-Volume Production runs can be
scheduled to start fabrication at any time.
IP Servicing Centre is offering a wide
variety of semiconductor processes from different wafer foundries,
such as Chartered, CSMC, DongBu, e-Shuttle, Fujisu, IBM, Silterra,
SMIC, and TSMC.

Below is a typical MPW cycle
flow: 
HKSTP collects different designs from
customers and prepares data to the manufacturing foundry for
fabrication. Data manipulations and verifications to the design
rules for manufacturing should be done. Packaging and testing are
optional according to customer's need.
