2D-EPL multi-project wafer run 1


EU Funded

This year the 2D-EPL project launched its first multi-project wafer (MPW) run where universities, research institutes and companies could include their designs as dies on joint wafers. The first run was mainly intended for graphene sensors, and was offered by AMO GmbH. 

What we offer:

  • Customizable chips
  • Short turn around
  • Flexible process flows
  • Direct communication channels
  • Experienced partners
  • Feasibility consulting

Important Dates

  • 1 February 2022: Call open, see specifications below
  • 30 June 2022: Call closes, design freeze
  • 1 September – 31 October 2022: MPW run

Pricing

  • 1300€ set price for four dies with identical design (1x1 cm²)
  • 250€ for each additional die with identical design 
  • 20% discount for customers from countries participating in the Horizon 2020 framework
  • Prices are exclusive of VAT, import duties/customs fees, withholding taxes, etc.
