MST Launches Mature-Node MPW Aggregation and RFQ Coordination

Summary: Moore Solution Technology (MST) has opened a mature-node MPW aggregation and RFQ coordination service for overseas fabless companies, universities, research teams, industrial chip developers, and engineering procurement teams.

The service is designed for teams that need a safe first step before sharing confidential design material. Customers can start with high-level, non-confidential requirements: target node or acceptable node range, process family, estimated die area, sample quantity, packaging and test assumptions, company country, end-use context, and timeline.

MST is not a wafer foundry and does not claim to manufacture wafers directly. MST acts as an MPW aggregation, qualification, and coordination partner. The role is to screen RFQs, check process fit, coordinate the NDA and PDK path, and route qualified requests for partner-confirmed feasibility, pricing, schedule, packaging, wafer probe, and test review.

What this MPW aggregation service covers

• Mature-node MPW RFQ intake and qualification
• Analog, mixed-signal, RF, sensor, power, IoT, BCD, high-voltage, and eNVM-related process-fit screening
• Node-range scoping from mature and specialty-process requirements
• NDA and PDK path coordination after initial screening
• Packaging, wafer probe, and test requirement collection
• Manual compliance screening before any design-detail exchange

No GDS or design IP at intake

The first MPW message should not include GDS, netlists, RTL, schematics, mask data, confidential drawings, or proprietary design IP. A safe first RFQ should only include enough non-confidential information to decide whether the case is worth routing.

This protects the customer, keeps compliance screening before design-detail exchange, and gives the coordination team enough context to decide whether the case is worth routing before confidential design files are involved.

Who this is for

• Fabless and chip-design teams exploring mature-node prototypes
• Universities and research teams planning MPW experiments
• Industrial chip developers working on sensors, power, RF, IoT, or mixed-signal designs
• Procurement teams that need a structured RFQ before technical handoff
• Overseas teams that need cross-border coordination, screening, and communication support

What MST does not promise

MST does not guarantee capacity, pricing, schedule, PDK access, packaging availability, wafer probe scope, or test scope before review. These items are confirmed case by case after screening and partner confirmation.

MST also does not present itself as a fabrication provider. The value of the service is aggregation, qualification, process-fit screening, RFQ expression, schedule coordination, and safe handoff sequencing.

How to start

Start with node range, process family, estimated die area, sample quantity, packaging or test expectations, timeline, company country, and end-use context.

Submit an MPW RFQ or read the MST mature-node MPW coordination hub.

FAQ

Is MST a wafer foundry?

No. MST is not a wafer foundry and does not claim to manufacture wafers directly. MST is an MPW aggregation, RFQ qualification, and tapeout coordination partner.

Can an MPW RFQ start without GDS?

Yes. The first RFQ can start with high-level outline requirements only. GDS and design IP should not be sent at intake.

What information should be included first?

Include node range, process family, estimated die area, sample quantity, packaging or test assumptions, target schedule, company country, and end-use context.

Does MST guarantee MPW capacity?

No. Availability, price, schedule, PDK access, packaging, wafer probe, and test scope are confirmed case by case after screening and partner confirmation.
