Participating institutions under Chips to Start-up (C2S) Programme can access advanced technology nodes (180nm, 65nm, 28nm, etc.) from foreign foundries like TSMC and UMC through EUROPRACTICE, MUSE, etc. as per the requirement of the approved project. To avail EUROPRACTICE MPW services, Institutions are requested to visit the web-links mentioned below and follow the procedure given for PDK access and/or registration of design for future MPW/Mini@sic shuttle runs with the technology and foundry of their choice.

Please read the instructions provided in the following links to the EUROPRACTICE website carefully before proceeding, as the procedure for PDK access and design registration may be subject to change from time to time.

Please note, on successfully completing the application process for PDK access, the PDK files for a foreign foundry will be shared by EUROPRACTICE with the respective institution directly; without involvement of ChipIN Centre.

While Institutions are encouraged to directly raise any installation/usage related issue relating to these PDKs through the proper EUROPRACTICE channel, they may reach out to ChipIN Centre for any support for using these advanced technologies; as/ if required.
