2008 mini@sic Europractice MPW runs – Schedule

Accessible for universities, research institutes – see special conditions

Version 3 : 13 December 2007

Through the mini@sic Program EUROPRACTICE IC Service is offering special MPW prototyping conditions to stimulate Academia and publicly funded Research Institutes to prototype small ASIC designs for education or publicly funded research. Through Multi Project Wafer Services, the high cost of a prototype run (masks and wafers) is shared amongst several customers. However for student education or PhD research programs the minimum prototyping charges are still too high. By introducing the mini@sic concept on MPW runs EUROPRACTICE is offering considerably lower minimum prototyping charges for small ASIC designs. Academia and Research Institutes will have the possibility to prototype small designs at low prices on selected MPW runs.

EUROPRACTICE registered (who paid their annual full membership fee) Academic and Research Members from all 27 EU countries and Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Israel, Croatia, Switzerland, Turkey who submit designs for educational or publicly funded research use only have special discounted prices thanks to special grant through the EU-Project EUROPRACTICE IC3 in the 6^th Framework.
