Once upon a time, integrated circuits (ICs) were built by the same companies that designed them. The design of an IC was tightly integrated with the manufacturing processes available within each ...

Proper planning and adherence to the key elements of effective device design transfer can aid any medical device company in creating an effective product. For the purposes of this article, design ...

The manufacturing world is undergoing a profound transformation based on new design technologies that couple 3D representations of highly complex structures with artificial intelligence, model-based ...

The Department of Engineering Design and Manufacturing is involved in a variety of research and training activities. The following is an overview of the areas that research teams work in, with some ...

Process design kits consist of a set of files that typically contain descriptions of the basic building blocks of the process. They are expressed, algorithmically, as Pcells. These descriptions are ...

For decades there have been five basic types of manufacturing processes. They are distinct. Great design engineers understand the nuances of these processes and tailor their designs accordingly. There ...

The gate-all-around (GAA) semiconductor manufacturing process, also known as gate-all-around field-effect transistor (GAA-FET) technology, defies the performance limitations of FinFET by reducing the ...

The way everyday items - from chairs to cars to power tools - are made is being reimagined through a new process called generative design. Using artificial intelligence (AI) software and the compute ...

As designs move to the28-nm and smallernodes, the likelihood ofa design being manufacturedwithout defects trendstoward zero unless a rapidlygrowing set of rules is adhered to. Those rulesare ...
