Abstract
High volume ICs production companies (telecom, etc) show a growing interest in MEMS components, especially RF and optical ones. Prototypes of integrated inductances and optical switches demonstrate very promising performances. The transition to the high volume production implies the development of Design For Manufacturability (DFM) tools featured to handle MEMS specific processes and related problems such as yield loss due to process dispersion. These tools must be part of a MEMS dedicated CAD environment. This paper presents results of what could be yield enhancement using usual statistical optimization tools and methods, and a new approach currently developed by MEMSCAP and LIRMM, based on response variability minimization.
