Abstract

This paper describes a long-term research program at Florida Institute of Technology (Florida Tech) that has been funded by both industry and government. It addresses the pervasive problem of design for manufacturability. The research has produced a software technology called STADIUM that is now being commercialized by a start-up company, AET, Inc. In the paper we describe the synergistic and technology transfer activities that have taken place between the university, government and industrial partners for the development of this STADIUM methodology and software. An overview of the methodology is also presented. Technology transfer is being accomplished through AET, Inc., which is now poised to offer design tools that will have a significant impact on the quality and yield of new products
