+I don't subsidize the MPW runs I just charge the imec price to NLNet. I don=
+'t include normal industrial markup on the price for NLNet and just charge =
+the (projected) time needed for the tape-out.
+The cost is a little over the =E2=82=AC600/mm=C2=B2 without packaging of th=
+e chips. For TSMC tape-out there is a minimum area charge of 25mm=C2=B2. Fo=
+r packaging you can go for semi-automatic packaging with a high cost per ch=
+ip; prices are here. For high volume you have low per unit packaging cost (=
+<$0.5/unit) but a start-up cost of over $5000.
