Foundries and technology partners
The first question is always whether Silvaco supports your foundry and your node.
The PDK and ecosystem work answers it first.

Who's already running on it
Eight of the ten largest display makers run their work on Silvaco TCAD. Silvaco EDA sits
inside six of the ten largest semiconductor companies. You already compete with some of them.
We are developing gallium oxide devices with a completely new proprietary manufacturing method. Utilizing a device simulator will become important in order to efficiently develop such new devices. For the decision to use Silvaco’s device simulator, the deciding factors were Silvaco’s extensive track record with wide band gap semiconductors, and Silvaco’s depth of knowledge of power devices. We expect to see even more progress in our development of GaO™ power devices as we move toward practical applications.

Silvaco provides state-of-the-art device models and TCAD tools that are widely used by semiconductor companies. We are excited to establish this joint development program with Silvaco so customers will have early access to our ReRAM technology on the most powerful simulation tools in the industry and can fast-track the release of their next-generation products. This is another key step by Weebit Nano to accelerate the incorporation of ReRAM technology by a larger number of OEM customers.

Common Questions
What is semiconductor design software?
Semiconductor design software models a device or circuit before it is manufactured: process and device simulation (TCAD), circuit simulation, parasitic extraction and physical verification. Silvaco builds all four.
What does Silvaco make?
AI-Driven Manufacturing covers TCAD and FTCO for process and device work. AI-Driven Design covers EDA tools and licensed IP.
Does Silvaco offer interface IP?
Yes. Mixel’s MIPI interface IP is part of Silvaco’s Design IP portfolio: D-PHY, C-PHY, CSI-2 and DSI, silicon-proven in twelve process nodes at nine foundries.
What is the difference between TCAD and FTCO?
TCAD is the specialist tool for multiphysics process and device simulation, for work where accuracy matters more than turnaround. FTCO runs the same physics through AI-accelerated models, fast enough to use mid-shift.
Which foundries and process nodes does Silvaco support?
Coverage spans specialty and mature nodes as well as advanced ones, across multiple foundries. The process design kits page lists a sample of supported PDKs by foundry and process node.
Does Silvaco offer academic licensing?
Yes. Universities and research groups access the tools through a separate academic track, not the commercial sales process. 200+ universities already use them.
