Electronics & Semiconductors

At Siemens we see a symbiotic relationship between Semiconductors and Electronics that drives growth and innovation for both markets: Semiconductors, with their embedded intelligence delivered in rapidly shrinking form factors, representing a rising percent of the value of Electronics systems. Meanwhile, new and innovative categories of smart, connected products and devices are revolutionizing the electronics space, driving strong demand and affinity for innovative designs and products that deliver optimal convenience and entirely new consumer experiences. Design and manufacture of today’s complex products and semiconductor devices requires seamless collaboration across multiple domains including electrical, electronic, mechanical, simulation, software and data management.

What is Design for Manufacturing?

January 04, 2022

PCB Design for Manufacturing DFM looks at all factors that may impact the manufacturability of a PCB design, such as assembly, fabrication, flex/rigid-flex, microvia, panel and substrate. It should also consider whether SMT component placement and soldering can be conducted automatically to reduce costs. DFM can involve general manufacturing specifications and/or the specifications of a specific manufacturer.
