DFM in 90nm chips

Amare

Hello,

What kind of things do we need to consider for DFM during 90nm chip physical design?

Thanks.

  • Design for Manufacturability (DFM) has always been important, but is vital as we move
    to 90nm technologies. The line between defects and process variation has blurred to the
    point that in some cases it is no longer meaningful. This means that yield and quality
    level are becoming more design dependent than ever, and that test effectiveness cannot
    be guaranteed without strict DFM guidelines. Without DFM, no company will be able to
    successfully make the jump to 90nm technology.

    DFM has historically been most successful in a vertically integrated manufacturing
    environment; can it succeed in a disaggregated model? The panelists will explore DFM
    from the foundry, EDA, IP, fabless, and vertically integrated manufacturing perspectives.
