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.”
