            Abstract : 
Design for manufacturability (DFM) has thus far been the focus of extensive study in the semiconductor industry. Although deep-submicron processes enable the manufacture of area-efficient, high-performance chips, navigating the nanometer landscape presents enormous manufacturability challenges.
