Terms and conditions
Terms and conditions
The mentioned prices below refer to the open-source designs, where all the views are compatible with the open source EDA tools.
For customers who do not wish to disclose their IP, we offer participation in the OpenMPW program at a
20% discount off the regular price, as the wafers can be shared with other customers.
The turn around processing time is approx. 6 months for SG13CMOS and 8 months for SG13G2.
Our basic offer contains 20 bare die samples. It is also possible to rent the wafer for measurements. Packaging will be offered on request (additional fee can be applied).
Date of the upcoming tapeout:
November 2025, SG13CMOS
