IBM Taxi Runs
MOSIS offers "taxi runs" for IBM processes. Taxi runs provide the scheduling convenience of an on-demand dedicated run, but at reduced cost - and are limited to prototype use only.
Taxi runs are private MPW runs. Designs approved for fabrication on taxi runs may not pass the more stringent design checks required for IBM production runs. Please see "Checking and Error Disposition Strategy for IBM Designs."
Also, the IBM 6HP/6DM (0.25 micron SiGe), 5DM (0.5 micron SiGe), 5PA (0.5 micron SiGe), 7SF (0.18 micron CMOS), 7HP (0.18 micron CMOS), and 6RF (0.25 micron CMOS) processes are available through MOSIS only as taxi runs -- no MPWs.
Taxi runs can also be ordered for any of the other IBM processes.
To inform MOSIS of your intention to participate in a taxi run, send a message to support@mosis.com.
Taxi run pricing can be requested via the Request For Quote page.
