Patent ID: 7296254

Claim:
A system for multi-project wafer service, comprising: an integrator interface, providing access to the multi-project wafer service for a first user; a designer interface, providing access to the multi-project wafer service for a second user; an account managing device, managing identification information and corresponding access authority for the first and second users; a mask tooling information processor, providing a predefined form to the designer interface for mask tooling information, receiving the form containing the mask tooling information, and presenting the completed form to the integrator interface; a mask database checking device, comparing the mask tooling information to mask data stored in a predefined mask database, wherein the comparison is performed in response to a command from an IC designer; and mask tooling information convertor, converting the mask tooling information of different device into one mask tape-out information, wherein the conversion is performed in response to a command from the integrator interface.
