- Design for Manufacturability @ SI2.org
- Design for manufacturability (DFM) is no longer a localized issue in the fab, but one that that transcends the supply chain. More and more, manufacturing cycles and yield must be considered as an integral part of design of the library elements and the IC as a whole. Manufacturing considerations must be an integral part of the design process and manufacturing decisions must be considerate of the design. IC production must become a...

- Design for Manufacturability
- In the past, products have been designed that could not be produced. Products have been released for production that could only be made to work in the model shop when prototypes were built and adjusted by highly skilled technicians. Effective product development must go beyond the traditional steps of acquiring and implementing product and process design technology as the solution. It must address management practices to consider customer...

- Calibre nmOPC
- The Calibre nmOPC tool offers best-in-class accuracy, speed, and cost of ownership. Like all Calibre family products, Calibre nmOPC runs on the fully integrated Calibre hierarchical geometry engine uniquely enabling a fully integrated design to mask flow with a unified command language. Calibre nmOPC also supports the OASIS output format to minimize output file size. Streamlined hierarchical processing algorithm in Calibre nmOPC enables the tool to take advantage of natural design hierarchy to improve turn around time, computational efficiency, and throughput compared to flat processing tools.

- Design for manufacturability (Integrated Circuits)
- Design for manufacturability (DFM) refers to the general engineering art of designing products in such a way that they are easy to manufacture. The basic idea exists in almost all engineering disciplines, but of course the details differ wildly depending on the manufacturing technology. Here are examples: Design for manufacturability for integrated circuits.

- Calibre nmDRC
- Total cycle time is on the rise due to more complex and larger designs, higher error counts and more verification iterations. Calibre® nmDRC responds to the need for reduced cycle time with revolutionary new capabilities that differentiate Calibre nmDRC substantially from traditional DRC tools including dynamic results visualization, equation-based DRC, direct database access and integrated DFM analysis.
