Silvaco Group, Inc.

Silvaco Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: SVCO) builds software and IP for semiconductor and photonics design. It runs as two business units. AI-Driven Manufacturing covers process and device simulation, through TCAD and FTCO. AI-Driven Design covers circuit simulation, custom IC design and licensed semiconductor IP. Silvaco was founded in 1984, and its tools are used at more than 200 universities.

What Silvaco sells

Two business units and eight product families, and one conviction behind all of them: a wafer run is an expensive way to ask a question software can answer first.

AI-Driven Manufacturing

  • FTCO
  • TCAD
  • Lithography
  • Plasma
  • Photonics

Model how each process step shapes the device, from the atomic level up. Fab engineers get a result they can use on the current run, not the one after it.

AI-Driven Design

  • Circuit Simulation
  • Analog and Custom IC
  • Design IP

Design and verify transistor-level circuits. License silicon-proven interface IP, Mixel's MIPI portfolio included, instead of building your own.

If you build for display, power devices, automotive, memory, high-performance computing, foundries, photonics, IoT or 5G/6G mobile, Silvaco already works in your market.

Key facts

Figures as of September 2026. The office count includes distributor partners in India and Malaysia.

Since 1984

Four decades in, customers still come to Silvaco with one question: what will this process, device or circuit do in silicon? What changed is the deadline. The physics built up since 1984 now runs through AI-accelerated models, so you get the answer while your next run can still use it.

Along the way, Silvaco listed on Nasdaq and brought Mixel's MIPI interface IP team into the company.

Who runs Silvaco

Ten executives and a seven-member board chaired by Kathy Pesic. If you need a vendor that outlasts your next program, look at who's running this one.

    Chief Executive Officer and Director

    CEO since August 2025. Ran Mentor Graphics as CEO from 1993 to 2017, then Siemens EDA until 2018.

  • Chris Zegarelli

    Chief Financial Officer

    CFO since September 2025, after serving as Senior Vice President of Finance at Infineon.

  • Ian Chen

    Chief Revenue Officer

  • Candace Jackson

    SVP, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary

Careers

Work where the physics is the product

Your work ends up predicting what a device will do in silicon, and customers tape out on the strength of that prediction.

Questions people ask about Silvaco

Silvaco Group, Inc. is a Nasdaq-listed company (SVCO) that makes semiconductor and photonics design software and semiconductor IP. Its two business units are AI-Driven Manufacturing, which models fab processes and the devices they produce, and AI-Driven Design. The Design side covers circuits, verification and licensed IP.

Yes. Its shares trade on the Nasdaq stock market under the ticker SVCO, and ownership and governance details sit on the investor site.

Since 1984, so for more than four decades. Silvaco has 12 offices worldwide, two of them run by distributor partners. More than 200 universities teach and research with its tools.

No free download exists. Instead, an application engineer works with you on an evaluation that runs on your machines and your device data. For licensing, you choose between Time-Based floating licenses on one- to three-year leases and the Victory Omni License. Victory Omni is a single annual license covering TCAD software except the Interactive Tools. Universities go through a separate academic track.

Talk to our Technical Experts

Yes. Mixel has designed MIPI PHYs since 1998 and is now part of Silvaco, so its D-PHY, C-PHY, CSI-2 and DSI IP sits in the Design IP portfolio. It is silicon-proven on 13 nodes at 9 foundries.

Silvaco posts its open roles on its recruitment site. Each listing names the office it's based in, so you know where you'd work before you apply.
