A method is disclosed for designing a semiconductor circuit on a
multi-project wafer (MPW). One or more standard modules designed by one
or more vendors with verified functions are first identified. Some of the
standard modules are charged based on usage. At least one reconfigurable
module of the MPW is programmed by making one or more connections through
one or more connection layers. The standard modules are further connected
with the programmed reconfigurable module according to the predetermined
design of the circuit. The completed circuit is then verified for final
uses.
