Design and manufacturing have operated essentially as separate worlds for decades. The DFM/DFY-concept represents a paradigm shift in the operation of semiconductor biz. What exactly is Design for Manufacturability DFM and Design for Yield DFY? DFM is the management of technology constraints (sizing rules) applied to the circuit design. DFM allows to precisely replicate on the chip, that which is designed and laid out by the design team. A manufacturable design however is not necessarily a high-robust or high-yielding design. The concept of DFY, as part of Design for Manufacturability DFM, concentrates on the development and quality of the circuit design in the pre- and post-layout phase. DFY is the management of design sensitivities to the manufacturing process and helps to guarantee high-yielding devices.
