Fabricate Request

Submit A Design

The Fabricate Web form is the second in the three-part submission process. Here, you tell MOSIS about your layout and how you're going to send it. MOSIS recommends you have the following information readily available before you start to fill out the Fabricate request form.

  1. Design Number

  2. Design Password

  3. A print out of your current status

  4. The layout checksum and count

  5. The name of the layout top structure (GDSII only)

  6. The layout file name, location, and attributes

  7. If the layout is encrypted and/or compressed

  8. Know your source of funding:

       Purchase Order Number
       Proposal ID (Approval Code)


  9. If you have a Custom Quote (optional)

  1. Go to the Project Management and select FabricateWeb form. Answer the questions in the "Required Parameters" and "Layout Parameters" sections.
You can change or answer questions you missed when you submit your New Project Web form. Your new answer will overwrite your earlier entry. Refer to your printed Current Status to see what you've already sent.

  1. When you get to the "To Send Your Design to MOSIS" section, stop.

    Since you will need to return to this screen, start your FTP connection or program in a separate window.
If you are running a PC, you can run the FTP program that came with the MS Windows operating system.

  a) From your PC, click START, select RUN, then for
    Windows XP or 2000, enter "cmd"
    Windows 98, ME, or 85, enter "command"
  b) Change directory (cd) to where your layout file is located.
  c) At the prompt, enter "ftp" To see a list of FTP commands, enter "help"

  1. In your FTP program, open an FTP session to

        ftp.design.mosis.com

    When your FTP program makes the connection, it will display on the screen your IP address. Make a note of that IP address.

    Do NOT log in yet.

    Return to the Fabricate Request web form, and type the IP address (the one displayed in your FTP program) in the "FTP Send Host" field.


  2. Provide a unique password for the "FTP Send Password" field.

    For security reasons, this password should be different from your account and design passwords.


  3. Type the name of the file (and path if you did not start your FTP session in the directory containing the file) in the "FTP Send Filename" field.

    You can leave the "FTP Send Hours" field blank.


  4. Hit the Submit button. If you receive a request to provide more information, use the back button on your browser to return to the previous screen. Provide the missing information as well as all password fields (design password, FTP send password), then submit your request.
When your request has been approved, you will receive instructions to start your FTP session.
