However, as leading-edge manufacturing moves through the 90nm node to 65nm, it takes on new meaning. It is expected that DFM will evolve from its present state of checking a design against well-defined rules and adding the necessary resolution enhancement techniques enhancements to the mask ...
It is actually a 3D-printed piece attached to the same potentiometer that the 555s use for tuning; meaning one less part to keep track of in the bill of materials. It’s all a gold mine of tips for anyone looking at making more than just a handful of something, and a peek into ...

engineering and pricing assumptions, decrease in the price of rare earth elements, the impact of viruses and diseases on the Company's ability to operate, restriction on labour and international travel and supply chains, loss of key employees, consultants, officers or directors, increase in cos...
parts and assemblies are designed for manufacturing and assembly is literally a matter of “life or death” for a company. It is essential for engineers to have a working knowledge of how to produce a high quality product cheaper, better, and faster. Customers demand value – meaning they ...
6. Direct operating costs as a % of live sales capacity reflect the P6 exit rate position for all OSP CFCs live at the period end. Direct operating costs include engineering, cloud and other technology direct costs. 7. Mid-term support cost target of £130m subject to inflation from FY...
For each type of component, you will need to look at different aspects. For example, if you are designing a plastic part, you will need to keep in mind the importance of the tool design. Meaning if your tool is not properly designed then the part that comes from the tool will have a...
Product or design complexity: Again, DFM is all about simplifying – meaning the more complex a design, the higher the risk of a costly (or less efficient) production process. Material and component availability: How easy or difficult – in terms of both cost and time – will it be to ...
This is not an electrically incorrect design choice, meaning you've created a closed circuit. I’ve seen boards with bypass/decoupling caps soldered directly to a grounded copper pour on the surface layer, and the board worked fine, although I'm not sure how they managed to get the compone...
Arguing that the term had already drifted from any technically useful meaning, Sherwani quoted industry commentator John Cooley as saying that DFM had come to stand for dollars for marketing.WilsonRonElectronic Engineering Times (01921541)
