TSMC 40nm Yield Explained!
August 6, 2009
By far the most revealing session at the Design Automation Conference (DAC) last week was on Design for Manufacturing (DFM) entitled “DFM: Band-Aid or Competitive Weapon”. I first wrote about DFM in an EETimes article Taking the pain from design for manufacturability circa 2003, suggesting that companies who don’t design for manufacture will be Desperate For Money. John Cooley shortsightedly tagged DFM as Design For Marketing.
