   1. What is the turn-around time for mass production?    
    : Lead time for mass production is 5-7 weeks.                                                            Go Up

   2. What kind of foundry service program do you offer for evaluation such as pizza mask ? 
    :1) Regular Shuttle Run (RSR):
     Run start on Every first week of each month. Four customers will share one wafer. One 
     customer will have a quarter of the wafer. RSR guarantee a quarter of one wafer for customer
     from its 2-wafer-run. If 2nd wafer is successful, customer will have additionally a quarter of the
     2nd wafer.

     2) Prototype Wafer Run (PWR)
     Single customer will have its own 2 wafers. The maximum stepping tile size is 
     15mm(width) x 15mm(height) on the wafer. The customer can compose the mask using 
     single or different circuits. Lead time: 1-2 weeks for Mask Making 3-4 weeks for processing 
     (no backside vias)
    
     3) Pre-Production Run (PPR)
     Minimum Production Run: 4 wafers- PCM guaranteed
     *Wafer Only, w/o Vias.

      You may find this information at here.
