Question 4

What legal agreements will I need to complete to work with Muse?

Accepted Answer

We have structured Muse to have a lightweight legal requirement for customers. We require only two agreements. One is a Mutual Non-Disclosure Agreement (MNDA). In many instances we are able to sign our customer's MNDA form without alteration. The second is a TSMC 3-way NDA between Muse, TSMC, and the customer. This enables us to share TSMC confidential information, such as PDKs and Design Rule Manuals with our customer. A third agreement, the Master Technology Usage Agreement, is required if you would like access to TSMC IP such as standard cell libraries, I/O libraries, and memories.
