The DFM melting pot

Clipped to the Drawing Board by Yan Chu  
As designs progressed from the 130nm node on their quest to keep up with Moore's law, physics asserted its influence on circuits behavior. The EDA industry, always creative in finding timely solutions to the pressing problems of the electronics industry, rose to the challenge and defined a new market segment, unfortunately labeled DFM for Design For Manufacturing. I say unfortunately because, as I have pointed out innumerable other times, we designed for manufacturing since the invention of the light bulb (and probably even before that).
