Production

IC Nexus has established partnerships with multiple foundries. This provides our customers with a broad range of solutions as well as ensuring quality and capacity.

We provide prototyping services as well as volume production services.

Prototyping

As technology geometries become finer and designs become more complex, the related mass production cost, which comprises mostly wafer masks cost, is becoming exponentially higher. In order to cope with this issue and reduce the cost before a chip can be volume-shipped to the market, IC Nexus offers our customers wafer shuttle services (MPW) and additional prototyping diagnostics services from a variety of foundries and test partners at acceptable and reasonable prices. By Partnering with top foundries and test houses, we are competent to satisfy every of your prototyping projects. For deep submicron, such as 90nm and finer geometries, prototyping services, we work with Fujitsu to provide shuttle services about once a month. The shuttle output can be either bare dice or packaged chips depending on customers’ request. For detailed prototyping services technologies and capabilities, such as shuttle offerings and schedule updates, test capabilities in terms of types of testers, please contact our office by email: sales@icnexus.com or call us directly.

Volume Production

IC Nexus offers our customers tape-out, GDSII, to wafer production services in conjunction with our wafer foundry partners. We offer two models- unsorted wafer and known-good-die models. If a customer has its in-house product engineering and assembly and test capability, ??unsorted wafer model??/strong> will be the suitable choice. If a customer wants to coordinate assembly and test tasks ??sorted wafer model??/strong> will be more appropriate. The whole production process starts from accepting customers?? GDSII, taping out customers??designs to a chosen foundry, arranging mask-making and finished wafers. Combined with our logistics expertise, we will deliver manufactured wafers to our customers.
