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 MUSE 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 shuttle runs with the technology of their choice for TSMC foundry.

Please read the instructions provided in the following links to the MUSE 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 and legal agreements for PDK access, the PDK files for a foreign foundry will be shared by MUSE 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 MUSE channel, they may reach out to ChipIN Centre for any support for using these advanced technologies; as/ if required.
