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 ...

Electronics design engineers spend substantial effort on schematics, simulation, and layout. Yet, a component’s long-term success also depends on how well its physical form aligns with downstream ...

Explore how Sandra Shaji, a Samsung engineering leader, is pioneering DTCO infrastructure for sub-2nm semiconductor design.

Manufacturing equipment is the platform for the operation of unit processes. Properly designed equipment is essential for the production of high-quality, cost-effective products. Equipment design is ...

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 ...

The manufacturing process is a complex one that can be impacted by many factors: supplies, equipment, factory overhead, the need for special parts, and the people who work at all points in the process ...

To remain competitive, manufacturers must utilize "lean manufacturing" — operating with maximum productivity and process efficiency, while generating quality products. Although establishing processes ...

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 ...
