Multiple Project Wafers (MPW)

Kickstart your Silicon Photonics development with our cost-effective MPW Shuttle runs

By aggregating multiple designs onto one wafer, we offer an affordable pathway for early-stage R&D, design validation and academic research. Supported by multiple technology platforms, standardized PDKs and precise lithography, our MPW platform ensures high yield and repeatability. Our team of account managers will coordinate with you every step of the way, for evaluation, tapeout and scale-up.

Turning Ideas into Prototypes with Proven Success

AMF offers a regular MPW shuttles 6 times a year following the schedule below.

Shuttle Run for 2026	Run 1	Run 2	Run 3	Run 4	Run 5	Run 6
Final Clean DRC Due Date*	1 Jan	1 Mar	1 May	1 Jul	1 Sep	1 Nov

* Please submit GDS by 15th of the previous month to secure a slot in the shuttle. Max 3 DRC iterations by AMF. Any DRC violation must be waived by this date.

* Schedule is subject to change to ensure minimum order fulfillment. AMF reserves the right to modify the schedule to support customers.

Process	193 lithography
	Deep silicon trench for edge coupling
	Implantations for high speed modulators
	Germanium epitaxy for photodetectors
	TiN heater and 2 Aluminium metal layers
