Victory TCADTM 2025 Release
Built for Scale. Designed for Accuracy. Powered by AI. Ready for the Future.
Introduction
With the 2025 release, Silvaco is yet again leading innovation in TCAD, driven by its over 40 years of experience. This release introduces major enhancements across simulation engines, solver performance, physical models, and multi-physics workflows for large-scale 3D applications.
The suite also now runs natively on Microsoft Windows, bringing the industrial-grade TCAD capabilities previously available only on Linux to a broader engineering community, from industry to academics.
Complementing these core advancements, workflow tools such as Victory DoE, Victory Analytics, and Victory Visual continue to evolve, enabling end-to-end “design-simulate-analyze” flows and AI/ML-powered Fab Technology Co-OptimizationTM (FTCOTM) pipelines. Our FTCOTM flow allows users to build industry-transforming Digital Twins and by extension virtual wafer fabs, providing a solution to the most dire challenge: Accelerating time to market and improving cost and yield.
This article is split into 6 parts.
