Important notes:

Dates are GDS submission deadlines.

Several TSMC shuttles are extremely loaded. For any technology, please make your design registration as early as possible. We will work with you and do our best to get your design on the run. If required, a waiting list will be created.

The TSMC run schedule for the second half of 2023 will be published in late March. We will share it with you as soon as it is available.

Bumping is available upon request for all 12-inch technologies.

Contact eptsmc@imec.be if any of the following options are used: Bumping, MTP/OTP, Deep Trench, High Linearity MiM, Schottky Barrier Diode, ULL N/PMOS.

Prices for TSMC technologies can be calculated through the online Price Request Form:

Exceptionally, prices for the TSMC University FinFET Program can be found here:

When 4 or more independent sub-designs are registered in one MPW submission to optimise the minimum charged area, an additional verification charge of 1,000 USD is applicable. This is regardless of the request and charges for sub die sawing (6 USD per additional die obtained from the base MPW submission).

Important notes:

The prices are area based, and the aspect ratio is free to choose but it is strongly recommended not to have sides less than 1mm.
Subdicing is not supported on mini@sic.
Design registration must be done at least 3 months in advance, preferably at the moment of reservation.

¹ The areas in the table for 28nm and 40nm are on-silicon dimensions. This means the designed area can be (area/0.81).

²The areas in the table for 16nm indicates on-silicon dimensions. This means the designed area can be (area/0.9604).

* UMC 0.18μm mini@sic rules

When the standard block of 5mm x 5mm is divided into 9 regular square sub-blocks, customers participating in the mini@sic program can submit one sub-block or multiple sub-blocks, depending on the size of their design:

single sub-block: design may not be larger than 1525μm x 1525μm
2 sub-blocks: design may not be larger than 3240μm x 1525μm
3 sub-blocks: design may not be larger than 4960μm x 1525μm
4 sub-blocks: design may not be larger than 3240μm x 3240μm
6 sub-blocks: design may not be larger than 4960μm x 3240μm

Final price = number of sub-blocks needed to fit in the design * sub-block price.

** UMC 0.11μm mini@sic rules

single sub-block: design may not be larger than 2425μm x 1525μm
