Free tools for MPW, P&ID and sourcing work.
MST publishes practical tools for engineers, founders and procurement teams: MPW planning, local-only GDSII inspection, non-confidential RFQ preparation, and engineering automation readiness. Open-source tools build trust; structured RFQ paths turn that trust into reviewable projects.
MPW planning tools
These are the first public-growth tools for MPW. They answer high-intent search questions before a buyer is ready to submit an RFQ.
Open-source · privacy
Local GDSII Inspector
Drop a .gds file and inspect top cell, die size, layer list and cell hierarchy fully in the browser. No upload, no server, no design IP at intake.

Open-source · MPW planning
Reticle & Wafer Planner
Pack projects into a shared reticle, step fields across the wafer, estimate gross/good dies and compare area-based cost share.

Open-source · commercial intent
Cost & Dies Estimator
Estimate die area, gross dies per wafer, indicative mature-node cost range and readiness factors before requesting a partner-confirmed quote.
Open estimator →P&ID and engineering automation
Tools and capability pages for teams moving from diagrams, drawings and rules into production-oriented engineering outputs.
Primary capability
P&ID to Native SOLIDWORKS Assembly
Generate native SOLIDWORKS assembly output with feature tree, mates, customer part-library reuse, BOM context and rulepack validation.

Open-source repo
semi-ai-toolkit
Local semiconductor AI toolkit codebase for DOE, process preprocessing, virtual metrology and related engineering workflows.
View GitHub →Sourcing and operations utilities
These tools help procurement and operations teams turn incomplete requirements into structured RFQ conversations.
Non-Western MPW Access Map
A sourced comparison of MPW routes, eligibility gates and public pricing references. Useful before a non-US or non-EU team starts outreach.
Open access map → OperationsCPK Calculator
Process capability analysis for manufacturing teams that need quick Cpk/Ppk, yield and sigma-level estimates.
Open calculator → OperationsOEE Calculator
Availability, performance and quality calculation for manufacturing line diagnostics and quick improvement discussions.
Open calculator →MPW tool roadmap for traffic growth
These are the next tools most likely to attract engineers, procurement teams, universities and founders searching before an MPW RFQ.
MPW Tapeout Readiness Checker
Score node, process, PDK/NDA path, DRC/LVS status, package/test assumptions and missing handoff items.
MPW RFQ Pack Builder
Generate a non-confidential RFQ package in PDF/Excel/JSON: node, process family, die area, quantity, packaging, test, timeline and end-use.
GDS/OASIS Handoff Manifest Generator
Create checksums, top-cell notes, layer-map references and delivery manifest without exposing confidential layout geometry.
PDK / Foundry Requirement Checklist
List required PDK files, rule decks, models, corners and signoff artifacts before NDA and partner-confirmed review.
Package & Assembly Selector
Map die size, IO count, power, frequency and sample quantity to likely QFN, BGA, WLCSP or COB options.
MPW Procurement Timeline Planner
Build a reverse schedule from tapeout target, purchasing approval, payment, shipment and sample needs.
