       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.
