MEMS devices require a clear design-for-manufacturability strategy that establishes concurrent-design principles through a common CAD framework. Detailed process and material-property characterization ...

One of the major challenges with how designers and engineers consider DFM is a lack of transparency into the machine shops and manufacturing processes themselves. By building a holistic approach to ...

Yield and cost have always been critical factors for both manufacturers and designers of semiconductor products. It is a continuous challenge to meet targets of both yield and cost, due to new device ...

True design for manufacturability (DFM) at 65-nm and below technology nodes has become more critical due to the shrinking of the critical dimensions of structures on the chip where the same absolute ...

The measurable ways Digital DFM shortens product development cycles. Real-world examples and future outlook. What Is Design for Manufacturability (DFM)? At its core, DFM is the practice of designing ...

Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) is emerging as a streamlined communication technology for industrial automation, transmitting data and power over long distances, unifying systems and enhancing security.

With wavering support for electric-vehicle (EV) subsidies in some jurisdictions as well as fierce competition, improving manufacturability of EVs is a critical responsibility of electronic design ...

A lot is happening in Design for Manufacturability (DFM) these days. The body of DFM knowledge originated in the early 1970s and has been growing steadily ever since. Hitachi, Westinghouse, and Stuart ...

Process design kits consist of a set of files that typically contain descriptions of the basic building blocks of the process. They are expressed, algorithmically, as Pcells. These descriptions are ...
