Practice By Sending Trial Layout



MOSIS encourages you familiarize yourself with our submission process. One way to do so is to send partial layout.

There are some precautions you need to take to insure you don't unnecessarily commit your partial layout to fabrication, incur any for-cost procedure, or trigger any manual and labor intensive design handling.

When designs bound for a foundry that imposes further checks (all the IBM and austriamicrosystems technologies, and the AMIS I2T100 and I3T80 processes) pass the manufacturability review, the projects then enter "Foundry Checks In Progress" rather than the "Queued For Fabrication" state. Foundry checks are manual and labor intensive. Immediately cancel fabrication after you receive the notification that your partial layout or test submission has gone into the "Foundry Checks In Progress" state.

Instantiation of Artisan IP is also labor intensive and should not be requested for partial or test layout.

When your test or partial layout successfully enters the fabrication queue, be sure to cancel that fabrication before you send your final layout, or before the next run of that type closes. The easiest way to prevent any automatic triggers of for-cost procedures or any manual and labor intensive design handling is to include a note in the special handling field that the layout sent on this specific date is for test purposes only and is not final layout. When you do send final layout, include a note in the special handling field that the layout sent on this specific date is intended for fabrication.
