TechOnline | DFM-Compliant IP: Why You Need It How You Get It
This paper examines the components of an IP DFM solution, and the process by which the foundry, IP vendor and EDA company have worked together to implement and ensure successful DFM compliance for IP.
TechOnline | Integrated DFM framework for dynamic yield optimization
We present a new methodology for a balanced yield optimization and a new DFM framework which implements it. Our approach allows designers to dynamically balance multiple factors contributing to yield loss and select optimal combination of DFM enhancements based on the current information about the
TechOnline | Beyond Pass/Fail Testing: Using Failure Data from Manufacturing Test for Yield
Scan design has been the enabling technology for high quality manufacturing test for many years. Now with advanced diagnostics capabilities, a company's investment in scan design can now be used
TechOnline | DFM: Magic Bullet or Marketing Hype
Over the past year interest in DFM has exploded in the semiconductor industry, and this despite the lack of a uniform working definition. The origin of this surge is shown to be related to three conv
TechOnline | Using DFM Routing to Impact Design Performance and Yield
As design teams continue to drive forward with the use of advanced process technologies, there has been much discussion about the use of design-for-manufacturing (DFM) techniques. This paper describes an experiment conducted to establish the quantitative performance and yield impact of proactively
TechOnline | Integrated Circuit DFM Framework for Deep Subwavelength Processes
Until recently little has been done to formalize the concept of design for manufacturability (DFM) for integrated circuits. This is a complex problem that has been addressed from multiple angles with
TechOnline | DFM: What Is It and What Will It Do?
Everybody's talking about it, but just what is DFM? According to various EDA company websites, design for manufacturing can be: generation of yield optimized cells; layout compaction; wafer mapp
