The work after the fab

Getting a chip made has become possible for small teams and individuals. Preparing it for a board or prototype takes additional processing, coordination and logistics.

Why Outerfab

Open shuttles and small runs now give designers real silicon. What comes back is a wafer, or a bag of bare die. Packaging houses want a minimum order that a first chip cannot justify, so the die sit in a drawer.

Outerfab coordinates the work between bare silicon and a usable prototype or small batch: preparation, bonding, testing, packing and shipping.
