Do we need to do DFM (Design for Manufacturability)? How is DFM introduced in the tech file?

o   Do We Need DFM? - YES

o   DFM (Design for Manufacturability): A set of design methodologies and practices aimed at creating layouts that are not only DRC-clean but are also robust against normal manufacturing process variations, leading to higher yield. DFM often deals with "preferred" or "recommended" configurations that are known to be more robust.

o   How DFM is Introduced in the Tech File:

o   Redundant via insertion – Double cut vias and via enclosers defined in tech lef

o   Antenna rules defined in tech file.

o   EM: tech lef/file can define basic current density rules.

o   Min and max area of shape.

o   design-for-manufacturability
