PCB Post-application Operation
Post-application Operation
1. DRC Verification
DRC: TSRI engineers perform the Design Rule Check (DRC) of PCB Gerber files.DRC errors: If there are DRC errors, the engineers will contact the applicants, and request them to complete the layout modifications and re-upload the Gerber files within a specific deadline.
Fail to correct DRC errors: Applications that fail to complete the modifications within the specified deadline will not be accepted.
2. Sorting
Applications that pass the DRC check will be prioritized for processing based on the resources available at TSRI and the "PCB Partial-price Sorting Instructions" listed below.3. PCB Delivery and Closure
Delivery：Once the application enters the sorting process and receives payment approval by the professor, TSRI will submit the application to PCB manufacturer for fabrication. After fabrication completion, the made PCBs will be delivered to the professor of applicant.Case Closure：The case will be closed after the applicant pay the fee.

PCB Partial-price Sorting Instructions
Sorting Rules
Rule 1：for different professors, PCB Total Credit, Large > SmallRule 2：for the same professor, PCB Total Credit > Priority
Rule 3：There are only 2 applications allowed for each professor per round. If there is remaining area available, an additional round will be conducted until the available area is fully utilized.
Comments:
- There is no limit of applications for each professor per Batch.
- The purpose of Rule 3 is to prevent certain professors from dominating the application process and crowding out the fabrication opportunities for other professors.
- We hope to optimize resource utilization and ensure that more students can access the PCB fabrication service.
1."PCB Total Credit" Definition
PCB Total Credit = Total Credit / PCB Unit Area No.
Total Credit: defined in "Guidelines and Instructions for submitting an application to advanced chip manufacturing" document IV.6 and IV.7.
The professor needs to register the published papers.
PCB Unit Area No.：PCB Price List
Please consult your professor before filling in the Priority order.
Fill in numbers 1, 2,3, ... etc. (Priority order: 1 >2 >3 > …).
Fill in "Priority" field of the "PCB Fabrication Application Form".
Applications without a filled-in priority order will be processed in the last order.
PCB Unit Area No.：PCB Price List
2."Priority" Definition
Please consult your professor before filling in the Priority order.Fill in numbers 1, 2,3, ... etc. (Priority order: 1 >2 >3 > …).
Fill in "Priority" field of the "PCB Fabrication Application Form".
Applications without a filled-in priority order will be processed in the last order.
Example: Sorting of different professors
Example：Sorting of different students of the same professor
| Professor | Total Credit |
PCB Unit Area No. |
PCB Total Credit |
Priority | Final Fabrication Order |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| AA | 0.2 | 2 | 0.10 | 1 | 1 |
| BB | 1.2 | 24 | 0.05 | 1 | 2 |
Example：Sorting of different students of the same professor
Professor CC's Total Credit =0.2. For the same process, and the same Batch, the students X,Y, and Z of Professor CC apply PCB Fabrication. The situation and Sorting results is shown in the following table:
| Students |

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| X | 0.2 | 2 | 0.1 | 1 | 2 |
| Y | 0.2 | 2 | 0.1 | 2 | 3 |
