Increasing complexity makes it increasingly difficult to optimize chips for yield and reliability. David Fried, vice president of computational products at Lam Research, talks to Semiconductor Engineering about the benefits of automated rules for managing the relationship between layout and design requirements on the one hand, and process flows and rules/controls on the other. . Benefits include lower margins, shorter time-to-market and fewer surprises late in the flow.
