A seldom-used EDA acronym, DFM (Design for Manufacturing), is being defined today as the missing link between design and manufacturing. DFM is more than the buzzword du jour, however. Increasing ...

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 ...

Last month’s column talked about a simpler way to exchange stackups with manufacturing partners. This month, continuing the ...

Design for manufacturing (DFM) is the process of designing your product with the goal of making it easy to manufacture. It is a critical manufacturing tooling design and process development step ...

Minimizing the variety of machine tools and putting best-design practices online are a few ideas from one company's design-for-manufacturing program. Manufacturers in the company were first to suggest ...

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 ...

Design for manufacturing (DfM) is evolving from traditional engineering practices into a data-intensive discipline that requires real-time integration of manufacturing capabilities, supplier ...

This article appeared in Microwaves & RF and has been published here with permission. You’ve finally completed your printed-circuit-board (PCB) design for a new product. You run your design-rule ...

More aggressive feature scaling and increasingly complex transistor structures are driving a steady increase in process complexity, increasing the risk that a specified pattern may not be ...
