Photo by Thufeil M on Unsplash Semiconductor Design for X (DFX) is a set of principles that can be applied to any product to improve its manufacturability, testability, reliability, and other critical technical aspects. With the ever-increasing complexity of semiconductor products, it has become crucial to ensure the DFX methodologies are applied correctly. The semiconductor DFX methodology helps by improving following: Manufacturability: DFX techniques make semiconductors easier to manufacture, which can lead to lower costs and higher yields. For example, the DFX techniques can reduce the number of process steps required to manufacture a semiconductor or make the process steps more robust to variations in materials and equipment. Testability: DFX makes it easier to test semiconductors, which can lead to higher-quality products. For example, DFX techniques create design test points in a […]
