Product design engineers today face so many pressures associated with cost and turn-around time, that manufacturing considerations sometimes end up on the back burner. MD+DI recently interviewed three ...

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 ...

In research and development, speed, precision, and cost-control determine competitive advantage, and maintaining ...

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 ...
