Introduction, description and general instructions for creating a
commercial account with MOSIS.
MOSIS Customer Accounts
Commercial Account
Companies, academic institutions, governmental agencies, and
individuals who pre-pay or submit a purchase order for fabrication of
their designs need a MOSIS Commercial Account. This includes
universities who do not qualify for grants or fabrication subsidies
under the MOSIS Educational Program.
How to create an account
To open an account with MOSIS, complete and send the account
application package to:
-
-
MOSIS
4676 Admiralty Way,
Marina Del Rey
CA, 90292-6695
Attn.: New account Manager
Note: Please read the instruction carefully before submitting your
application package. You can also fax the application to us, but the
account will be created ONLY after MOSIS receives the original
documents.
Items included in application package
-
Commercial Account Application
The Commercial Account Application requires information on the
Account's Primary Contact. For academic institutions, the primary
contact must be the class professor or instructor. A student or staff
member may not be the primary contact for an account.
-
MOSIS Customer Agreement
To open an account, submit two copies of the MOSIS customer agreement,
each with the original signature of a person authorized to sign legal
agreements on behalf of your organization.
Authorized signatory for academic institutions
A professor cannot be accepted as a signatory unless the signed
agreement is accompanied by a statement from the university's legal
department, on university letterhead, acknowledging the authority of
said professor to enter into legal agreements on behalf of the
university.
Authorized signatory for other organizations
For many organizations, only a president, vice president, purchasing
officer, or corporate attorney can enter into a legal agreement on
behalf of that organization.
The purpose of the MOSIS customer agreement is to ensure that MOSIS
customers know exactly what they are (and what they are not)
purchasing. For example, it's important for designers to know that
MOSIS does not guarantee that fabricated parts will be functional,
because designing the circuit is the customer's responsibility. MOSIS
does, however guarantee that all wafers will meet the wafer
fabricators' acceptance specifications. This is the type of
information that is included in the MOSIS customer agreement.
REGARDLESS OF WHO SIGNS THE AGREEMENT, IT IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR THE
DESIGNER OF THE PARTS, OR THE ENGINEER SUBMITTING THE DESIGN, TO BE
AWARE OF THE TERMS OF THE AGREEMENT.
Additional agreements for access to proprietary vendor documentation
-
-
Many vendors require MOSIS to obtain from our customers signatures on
additional documents before we can grant access to their proprietary
and confidential information. The section below will guide you
through this process.
How to request document access
Instructions

If you require access to vendor documents, you are required to sign

vendor documents, and agreements required to obtain access to these
documents. Please submit the appropriate signed agreement(s) for

bottom of the form. You will receive a confirmation that your request
was received.
Special instructions for academic institutions
Academic institutions must read the

Proprietary Information," MOSIS policy for document access by
university accounts, then complete, sign, and mail the
Academic Account
Document Access Application, which contains the following:

List of students, staff, and other faculty that have signed the
individual NDA.
Additionally, a Mini-Proposal
