If you’re building and shipping chips, you’ve probably heard the term “MPW run”… but what does it actually mean for your program?
Multi-Project Wafer (MPW) runs are one of the most efficient ways to bring a design to life—especially for startups and early-stage silicon. But they also introduce constraints, timelines, and downstream challenges that most teams don’t fully plan for.
From shared wafers to limited sample quantities, MPW runs shape everything that happens after tapeout.
