Worldwide, several MPW services are available from government-supported institutions or from private firms including Canadian Microelectronics Corporation (CMC),[1] MOSIS,[2] CMP,[3] Europractice,[4] eSilicon,[5], WaferCatalyst[6], and Muse Semiconductor [7]. MOSIS began in 1981 after Lynn Conway organized the first VLSI System Design Course at MIT in 1978. Many silicon fabrication facilities offer MPW runs or a company can produce its own MPW, e.g. combine several of its own designs to form one wafer completely owned by the company. ^ http://www.mosis.com/ ^ "BaySand to Initiate a Unique Low Cost Multi Project Wafer (MPW) Program". ^ "Multi Project Wafer Program (MPW) BaySand's ASIC UltraShuttle".
