Frequently Asked Questions

How long does the fabrication process take?

Typical turnaround is 8-12 weeks from tape-out to delivery. Express options are available for 4-6 week delivery with select foundries.

What if I need a foundry that's not in your partner network?

We can integrate with any foundry. Contact us for custom integration, which typically takes 2-4 weeks to set up.

Do you offer packaging and testing services?

Yes, we offer complete back-end services including wafer dicing, die packaging, and electrical/optical characterization through our partner network.

What's included in the fabrication quote?

Quotes include wafer processing, standard characterization, and delivery. Additional services like custom testing, expedited shipping, and volume discounts are available.
