Assembly of parts not fabricated by MOSIS is not a service currently offered. MOSIS does not currently offer MCM fabrication, but that may change in the future.
: 831-426-61634.7 Can I order Whole Wafers?If you wish to receive whole wafers from MOSIS, you must purchasean entire fabrication run. We cannot send you wafers froma shared MOSIS run, because those wafers will contain projectsdesigned by other MOSIS customers.For more information about purchasing wafers, see.4.8 Can I order Large Quantities of Chips?The Automated Price Quote Request form generates a quote for one ormultiple prototyping lots of die based on the information you provide.For very large quantities, you may wish to consider purchasingan entire fabrication run yourself. For more information, seeform.4.9 Can I order Additional Chips from Past Fabrication Runs?If MOSIS has additional wafers in stock for a particular run, thosewafers can be used to provide customers with additional parts. It'simportant to note, however, that additional wafers are not alwaysavailable. For more information, log in toand select'Additional Die or Packaging Quote' in the 'New Order for Parts fromPrevious Runs' section.4.10 Can I order Packages and Lids (materials only)?It is sometimes possible to purchase small quantities of packages andlids from MOSIS, but packaging materials are not a standard MOSISproduct, and the part you need might not always be available. If youwish to purchase packages or lids from MOSIS, send a Request forPackage Quote that includes the manufacturer, part number and quantityrequired through the.Instead of ordering through MOSIS, you may wish to order materialsdirectly from one of the suppliers MOSIS works with.

If you would like MOSISto offer this service, please let us know by sending a messagethrough the.4.13 Net-list-to-parts services?MOSIS does not currently offer a netlist-to-parts servicebut that may change in the future. If you would like MOSISto offer this service, please let us know by sending amessage through the.5.0 Does MOSIS have its own design rules?For each CMOS process, MOSIS supports the vendor's rules for thatprocess, and the MOSIS SCMOS rules for some of the CMOS process. Formore information, connect to.6.0 Does MOSIS have its own cell libraries?Library and/or CAD tool companies provide avariety of cells that vary both by processes and in function. Formore information, connect to.7.0 If I order wafers, how many parts will I receive?The number of parts you can get from a dedicated run depends on:.The size of your design.The size of the reticle used by the fabricator.The size of the wafers used by the fabricator.Yield factors related to the fabricator's process.Yield factors related to your particular design.The overhead space required by MOSIS.The overhead space required by the fabricatorYou will need to work with MOSIS on a case-by-case basisto determine the number of wafers that will meet yourrequirements.

Not to be confused with.MOSIS (Metal Oxide Semiconductor Implementation Service) provides chip design tools and related services that enable universities, government agencies, research institutes and businesses to prototype chips efficiently and cost-effectively.Operated by the, MOSIS combines customers' orders onto shared that speed production and reduce costs compared with underutilized single-project wafers. Customers are able to debug and adjust designs, or to commission small-volume runs, without making major production investments. Fabrication costs are also shared by combining multiple designs from a single customer onto one 'mask set,' or wafer template. According to MOSIS, the service has delivered more than 60,000 integrated circuit designs.MOSIS was created in 1981 by ISI's, an Internet pioneer who also developed Voice over Internet Protocol and Video over Internet Protocol. It was based on the inventions of VLSI pioneer, who invented and tested this new approach to rapid-prototyping and short-run fabrication at. One of the first e-commerce providers, MOSIS also launched the 'fabless foundry' industry, in which vendors outsource chip orders rather than relying on their own factories. Thousands of students also have learned chip design in MOSIS-associate programs.Many early MOSIS users were students trying IC layout techniques from the seminal book Introduction to VLSI Design ( ) published in 1980 by professor and professor.
Some early (RISC) processors such as (1984) and (1987) were run through MOSIS during their early design and testing phases.See also.References.
