austriamicrosystems MPW Shuttle prototyping service hits 10,000 customer orders
To celebrate the industry’s first and most-used prototyping program austriamicrosystems offers one free MPW Shuttle participation in the first quarter of 2005
December 29, 2004 - austriamicrosystems' business unit Full Service Foundry announced today that the mark of 10,000 device designs manufactured via its MPW (Multi-Project Wafer) Shuttle service will be crossed in the first quarter of 2005. This makes austriamicrosystems’ MPW Shuttle service, established in 1987 as the first of its kind, the industry’s most used prototyping program. To celebrate the resounding success of this industry-leading initiative, austriamicrosystems will offer one MPW Shuttle participation in the first quarter of 2005 free of charge to the 10,000th device design.
austriamicrosystems’ MPW Shuttle service is a scheduled, cost-effective and fast prototyping service offering customers lower mask tooling costs as well as wafer costs by sharing these expenses with other companies. The MPW Shuttle Service allows fabless design houses to efficiently validate their designs prior to putting them into mass production at austriamicrosystems.
Today, the MPW Shuttle service provides more then 50 start slots per year, either directly at austriamicrosystems or via the leading wafer prototyping organizations in the world. Amongst others, wafer shuttle services are offered for austriamicrosystems’ 0.35µm CMOS, High Voltage CMOS and SiGe-BiCMOS process technologies.
“Along our mission to provide extraordinary service to our customers for our specialty processes, the MPW Shuttle Service is a key element in the successful transfer of innovative products to mass production. In combination with our well-known HIT Kit process design kit, we offer our customers an easily accessible, cost-effective platform to develop the analog specialty products of the future”, comments Thomas Riener, Director Marketing for the business unit Full Service Foundry. “We are particularly proud of the broad acceptance of our MPW Shuttle service demonstrating our winning approach to ramping up new business with our customers.”
