Why is the MOSIS customer agreement necessary?
The purpose of the MOSIS customer agreement is to ensure that MOSIS customers know exactly what they are (and what they are not) purchasing. For example, it’s important for designers to know that MOSIS does not guarantee that fabricated parts will be functional, because designing the circuit is the customer’s responsibility. MOSIS does, however guarantee that all wafers will meet the wafer fabricators’ acceptance specifications. This is the type of information that is included in the MOSIS customer agreement.
