Silvaco application examples

Pick one of 606 Silvaco application examples, from TCAD process and device physics to SPICE and layout verification, and your next simulation starts from a deck that already runs.

  • Installed with the software

    Silvaco application examples install with every software package, as a full set matched to that release. They come out of years of benchmark work and published results, and each one puts its tool's key capabilities to work.

  • Not in your installation?

    The set online is for reference, and it can run ahead of the release you have. If an example is missing locally, your installation predates it. Latest Release lists the version each tool is on now.

    Latest Release

  • For evaluation, teaching and self-training

    Evaluating a tool? The example nearest your device gives you a working baseline before you've written any setup of your own. The examples suit beginners and experienced users alike, in a course or for self-study. Course licenses come through the University Program.

TCAD 350 examples

Process, device, meshing and atomistic simulation, as decks you can run. Device sets cover CMOS and SOI through GaN and SiC power, displays, memory and VCSELs. For the tools themselves, there are sets for Victory Process, Victory Mesh, Victory Atomistic, Victory Extract, Victory RCx and DeckBuild.

Questions about Silvaco application examples

Silvaco application examples are worked simulations of real devices, circuits and layouts. Each example page carries its input deck and its results, so you can read the setup before you run it. There are 606, covering TCAD, SPICE simulation, schematic and layout, verification, extraction and model generation. Each traces back to benchmark work or a publication.

Yes. Install any Silvaco package and the full example set for that release installs alongside it, so the examples on your machine always match the version you run. The online list may also show examples from releases newer than the one you have.

Yes. Product evaluation is one of the uses they were built for, alongside teaching and self-training. Pick the example closest to the device or circuit you'd test, run it as installed, then change one parameter at a time toward your own case. The setup is already written, so your time goes on the problem, not the syntax.

TCAD has the most: 350, across Victory Process, Victory Mesh, Victory Atomistic, Victory Extract, Victory RCx, DeckBuild and the device-technology sets. On the design side, SmartSpice has 105, Gateway 23, Expert 23 and Hipex 18, and Guardian has 37: 27 for DRC and 10 for LVS. Utmost IV has 50 for SPICE model extraction.

Yes. TCAD includes two sets made for the classroom: 13 ASU device examples and 45 Plummer and Griffin process examples. The rest work for teaching too, whether a student is new to a tool or already fluent in it. Universities get academic licenses from the Silvaco University Program.

Then it most likely shipped in a later release than the one you run. Each installation carries only the examples that came with its version. Look up your tool on Latest Release, update through the support portal, and you get the newer examples with it.
