Takumi Joins Si2
The Design For Manufacturability Coalition (DFMC) includes
Takumi Technology as a new member.
Silicon Integration
Initiative (Si2) announced that Takumi Technology has
joined the DFMC
which will build on previous efforts to ensure that ICs can be manufactured in
accordance with the original design intent. Si2 also announces that there will
be an “Open Door” session at the DFMC meeting at the Design Automation
Conference, on June 10 next to the Anaheim Convention Centre. All interested
parties are welcome to attend and find out more about this important industry
effort.
“As one of the
early players in delivering DFM solutions to customers, Takumi had to deal with
multiple semantics and data formats,” says Mr. Akifumi Goto, president and CEO
of Takumi Technology. “Lack of standards force customers and solution providers
to spend time and resources on integration issues rather than on real DFM
issues. We are very happy to see this standardisation effort and glad to be a
part of it.”
“We are pleased
to welcome Takumi Technology into the DFMC,” says Steve Schulz, president &
CEO of Si2. “Their special expertise in DFM solutions currently being used by
major semiconductor companies and foundries will be of great value as the DFMC
works toward helping the design and manufacturing realms meet.”
