| Manufacturing Concerns Move Up the Design Cycle |
The expression "design-for-manufacturing" (DFM) has been bandied about for so long, that designers regard it with suspicion. They've been told many times that shrinking process nodes will force them into a realm that was once happily reserved for the engineers at the fab who turn designs into working silicon.

| EDA DesignLine: Design Challenges Drive Need for New Routing Architecture |
Timing, area, power, and signal integrity have traditionally been the primary objectives of design technology. Increasingly manufacturability and yield have also become critical design objectives, especially for technology nodes at 90 nanometers (nm) and below.

| Early relief for 45-nm routing congestion |
Moore's Law is both a blessing and a curse. Each new manufacturing process generation provides designers an opportunity to squeeze roughly twice the circuit functionality into an unchanged die area, significantly lowering fabrication costs for systems-on-chip (SoCs).

| How Much Test Compression is Enough? |
Each new manufacturing process generation brings with it a whole new set of challenges. In an era of multimillion-gate complexity and increasing density of nanometer manufacturing defects, a key challenge today is creating the highest quality deep submicron (DSM) manufacturing tests in the most cost-effective manner possible.
