R&D Prototyping
Small-batch prototype wafers, custom specifications, and flexible supply for university and corporate labs.
Overview
R&D and prototyping are the engine of semiconductor innovation. GINECHIP provides research institutions, university laboratories, and startups with flexible substrate and process services that support every stage from proof-of-concept to small-batch production. We understand the unique demands of R&D environments — fast turnaround, flexible minimum order quantities, and comprehensive technical support.
We deliver industry-leading quality and precision while maintaining the flexibility and speed that R&D programs require.
Why Choose Us
No Minimum Order Quantity
Order a single prototype wafer or a small qualification lot — we scale batch size to match your R&D budget and timeline, not the other way around.
Rapid Turnaround
Most prototype orders ship within 1–4 weeks. Expedited scheduling is available for time-critical funding milestones and conference deadlines.
Flexible Process Customization
Our process engineers adapt film stacks, dopant profiles, and surface finishes to your exact recipe, even for single-lot experimental runs.
Direct Engineer Access
Work directly with a process engineer from quote to delivery — no account layers, no generic support queue, with a 24-hour response commitment.
IP Protection & Confidentiality
All prototyping engagements are covered by NDA, with restricted process documentation and controlled data handling to protect your unpublished research.
Lab-to-Fab Scale-Up Path
When your prototype is ready to scale, the same engineering team carries your process from single-wafer runs into volume production.
Prototyping Services
Small-batch MEMS wafer processing including deep etch, bonding, and release, tailored for sensor and actuator R&D programs.

Getting Started
Submit Your Requirements
Send us your specifications or research goals through our RFQ form — no formal drawing required to start the conversation.
Engineering Consultation
A process engineer reviews feasibility, recommends materials and process flow, and confirms lead time within 24 hours.
Fabrication & Qualification
Your wafers are processed with full in-line metrology and documented against your agreed specification.
Delivery & Ongoing Support
Wafers ship with full characterization data, and our engineers remain available as your project moves toward scale-up.
Multi-Project Wafer (MPW)
Multi-Project Wafer runs allow you to share mask and process costs with other designs, dramatically reducing your prototyping expense. Each MPW lot receives full process monitoring including daily SPC data, in-line metrology, and post-process electrical and physical characterization.
Lab to Fab
Transitioning from laboratory-scale research to volume production requires careful process optimization. Our lab-to-fab service bridges this gap — we translate your research recipes into production-ready processes, qualify them on production equipment, and establish statistical process control.
