Until now, design for manufacturing has been all about the individual processes. If it is to be successful, it must be applied on a broader scale. DFM processes such as lithography friendly design, ...

Industrial 3D printer creating a lattice-structured part, illustrating advanced additive manufacturing in action. Close-up of technical mechanical drawings showing component blueprints, dimensions, ...

Multiple rounds may be required before a design is production-ready. Limitations of Traditional DFM The conventional approach to DFM introduces several pain points: Delays in Feedback – Every ...

With the rapidly expanding use of reticle enhancement techniques (RET) in 90nm and 65nm production increasing the chances of killer lithography-related defects going undetected, Micron Technology Inc.

The challenges of production at advanced process geometries are well-known. In anticipation of reaching today's leading-edge process nodes, electronic design automation (EDA) companies and chip ...

Design for manufacturing (DFM) as a concept seems both self-explanatory and obvious. After all, in a corporate context, the entire point of designing something is to manufacture and sell it. Because ...
