What they have to say …

“… a full simulation on one of our blocks would run 20+ days. After using Jivaro Pro this runtime was reduced to 6 days …”

“eTopus provides ultra-high speed mixed-signal semiconductor IP for high-performance computing and data center applications. In our current FinFET design flow we were experiencing longer than expected post layout SPICE simulation runtimes, especially on the larger blocks where full simulations can run for several weeks.

We approached Silvaco with this issue and were introduced to their Jivaro Pro parasitic netlist reduction tool. We were able to easily ramp up and integrate Jivaro Pro as part of our existing design flow.

After running Jivaro Pro, we were able to significantly reduce our post-layout simulation runtime while maintaining accuracy. As an example, a full simulation on one of our blocks would run 20+ days. After using Jivaro Pro this runtime was reduced to 6 days while maintaining the designer’s accuracy requirements. This 2 – 3X speedup saved us weeks of simulation time and substantially increased our engineering productivity which helps ensure our time to market goals.”

“… unique tool features specifically tailored for power devices design …”

“SemiQ is a leading provider of SiC Power devices, modules, and epitaxial wafers. To support our growing needs in power device design and accelerate the development of our next generation of devices, we evaluated Silvaco’s Victory TCAD solution for process and device simulation. With Silvaco’s prompt and expert technical support, and unique tool features specifically tailored for power devices design, we were able to quickly adopt new capabilities, such as oxidation simulation, to improve our understanding of next generation devices. As a result, we have made a multi-year commitment to their TCAD solution and replaced our existing tools.”

“We chose Silvaco for their complete extraction solution for TFT sensors …”

“Trixell builds displays for X-ray imaging, and we have demanding performance-driven feature and manufacturing requirements. We chose Silvaco for their complete extraction solution for TFT sensors, which is reliable, consistent, and well-supported. Our prior toolset was a collection of point tools that did not meet our requirements for consistent analysis and product support. The technical team at Silvaco has been excellent and quickly brought up our new analysis flow”.

“The Victory TCAD solution enables us to quickly analyze different pixel structures.”

“We have been a long-term customer of the Silvaco TCAD solution due to its comprehensive flow for image sensor design and analysis”. The Victory TCAD solution enables us to quickly analyze different pixel structures. The impact of different geometries can be easily explored in order to identify the key parameters that affect performance. Thus, multiple variants can be effectively evaluated before production, allowing quicker convergence on the final design and saving fabrication costs and development time.”
