Choose the design envelope, then bring your own circuit.

Ark, Freighter, Cruise, and OSOC model two shared manufacturing strategies: MPW for an independent die and MPC for a shared chip with verified platform infrastructure.

MPW And MPC

Two ways to share a shuttle.

MPW gives you a full die. MPC lets multiple user designs share one chip, IO, package, board, and test structures.

MPW

Multi Project Wafer

You own the whole die area for a complete chip, SoC, ASIC prototype, or custom mixed-signal experiment.

MPC

Multi Project Chip

Your design becomes a protected region inside a shared chip, lowering cost through reusable platform infrastructure.

Template Catalog

Four mocked routes into ECOS55.

Animated Schematic

Small designs move inside a shared chip.

The MPC visual shows a core area, pad ring, programmable IO blocks, and multiple highlighted user regions resizing inside proportional geometry.

For Ark MPW, the user area can grow into a full independent die. For Freighter, Cruise, and OSOC, your region stays inside a shared chip boundary while the template supplies platform infrastructure.
