Most of what you need to know arrives after the wafers do.

Silvaco semiconductor simulation moves that answer to the front of the schedule, while it still changes what you do next.

Talk to our Technical Experts

Semiconductor simulation, by industry and by technology

Semiconductor applications differ more than the tools do: a power device and a display panel fail for different reasons.

By Industry

Pick the market you build for, and the constraints that come with it.

By Technology

Go by method: the simulation, extraction, verification or optimization step you need to get right.

Foundries, nodes and PDKs we support

Your foundry and node are either covered or they aren’t, and the table says which. Coverage can mean a PDK, a model library, a characterization kit or a qualified flow.

How an evaluation works

  1. Tell us the device and the flow

    Send what you already have: a netlist, measured data, or the process flow itself. Add your node and foundry.

  2. An application engineer runs your case

    A named Silvaco application engineer takes your data and builds the structure or model from it. Not a canned demo, and not somebody else’s test case.

  3. You evaluate on your own data

    You run it under license on your own hardware, with engineer support, and a scoped quotation at the end.

Silvaco does not offer a free download or a self-serve trial. Every evaluation runs on your own device data with an application engineer attached.

Bring us the hard one

If the question you came with isn’t on this page, it’s still worth asking. Our application engineers work on device physics, process flows and IP integration every day, and they’ll tell you straight whether Silvaco fits your case.

Questions that come up before an evaluation

Semiconductor simulation predicts how a process, device or circuit will behave before it exists in silicon. It covers process and device physics, SPICE-level circuit simulation, and the model extraction that connects the two. Silvaco builds software across all three.

TCAD is the specialist tool: full multiphysics accuracy for process and device work, run by people who do it daily. FTCO carries that same physics into AI-accelerated models, so a fab or process engineer gets the answer without queuing for a specialist. It widens who can reach the physics rather than replacing the tool.

Check the foundry, node and PDK table for current coverage, including PDKs, model libraries, characterization kits and qualified flows. If yours isn’t listed, ask. You’ll have a confirmed answer inside two working days.

Yes. Silvaco Design IP includes MIPI interface IP from Mixel, which has been building MIPI PHYs since 1998 and is silicon-proven on 13 nodes at 9 foundries. The families are D-PHY, C-PHY, CSI-2 and DSI.

No. Silvaco doesn’t publish a trial download. An application engineer sets up a licensed evaluation on your machines instead, so what you test is your case rather than a prepared demo.

Yes. Silvaco runs a separate academic track, already in use at more than 200 universities, with its own licensing and request path rather than the standard commercial sales process.

Semiconductor device modeling works at the physics level: how one transistor or diode behaves under bias, temperature and process variation. Circuit simulation works a level up, solving how many of those devices behave together. SPICE model extraction is the bridge between them.
