MPW schedule review

Prepare an MPW schedule review brief

Before asking MST to review an MPW schedule path, prepare the process node, process family, die size, samples, package/test assumptions, target quarter, NDA/PDK status, country and end-use context. MST confirms schedule windows and quote path case by case after requirement review.

Direct answer

What should I prepare before asking for MPW schedule review?

A useful schedule-review request explains what silicon route is being considered and why the timing matters. MST can then screen missing data, process fit, partner questions and the next review path without publishing supplier deadlines or prices.

Prepare

Schedule review fields

  • Process node, process option and acceptable alternatives.
  • Die size, expected sample quantity and prototype purpose.
  • Package, probe, final-test and characterization assumptions.
  • Target tapeout quarter or milestone pressure.
  • NDA/PDK status, customer country/region and end-use context.
Hold back

Keep public intake non-confidential

MST does not publish supplier booking deadlines, GDS/data-in deadlines, cost or slot guarantees on the public website. These are confirmed only after qualified review.

Route

What MST reviews next

MST screens process fit, missing inputs, NDA/PDK path, package/probe/test scope, country and end-use context, then coordinates the capacity enquiry and formal RFQ path.

Boundary

No public price, slot or capacity guarantee

Final capacity, route, quotation, availability, schedule, documents, logistics and order acceptance are confirmed only after fab-facing review.

How to use this page

Use this page to prepare a non-confidential capacity enquiry before controlled technical exchange begins. It is not a public price list, a capacity promise or a design-data upload page.

Recommended next step

Send node, process family, die estimate, samples, package/test assumptions, target timing, country/end use and NDA/PDK status. MST will turn them into a reviewable fab-facing brief.

MPW quote before final GDS

Can an MPW quotation review start before final GDS?

Yes. A preliminary MPW quotation review can start before final GDS when the team provides non-confidential process, die-area, sample, packaging, test, timing and project-context assumptions. Exact price, slot, schedule, data handoff and order acceptance still require controlled review and supplier confirmation.

HHGrace MPW agent

How can an overseas team enquire about HHGrace MPW capacity?

When a fab does not accept a project directly, an overseas team can use MST as the HHGrace MPW agent entry for a capacity enquiry. MST prepares the non-confidential brief, checks missing commercial and technical inputs, and coordinates the request toward fab review. Actual capacity, process eligibility, slot, schedule, PDK path, price and acceptance are confirmed case by case by the fab and formal quotation path.
