Development of a Platform for Collaborative Engineering Data Flow between Design and Manufacturing

The amount of collaborative engineering data between design and manufacturing is increasing because of the introduction of design for manufacturing (DFM) technology to improve product yield quickly. Therefore, we developed a platform to realize collaborative engineering data flows between design and manufacturing. The platform can facilitate the implementation of flows of yield ramp-up and quick turn-around-time (TAT). The flows can reduce the TAT of information linkage. The flows which improve yield and manufacturability were established on the platform and integrated into the actual LSI production. As a result, we confirmed the improvement of efficiency of the system development and the TAT reduction of information linkage.
