Multi project wafer (MPW) runs are a common practice within the semiconductor ecosystem. Universities, R&D centers and start-ups, which usually only need a few prototypes and operate with tight budgets, take advantage of this service to obtain devices at an affordable entry point. This is carried out with a mask sharing scheme, where devices with different geometries but shared device architecture are manufactured within the same mask; in this way, everyone gets a few devices but no one n...
