SPICE Modeling Services

Silvaco provides complete SPICE modeling services for the semiconductor industry. We offer an experienced staff of engineers and state-of-the-art laboratory. Our services are affordable, and designed to provide the accuracy and rapid turnaround time required by our customers.

Silvaco’s modeling services are ideally suited to either compliment in-house SPICE modeling capabilities when time is critical, or to provide complete SPICE modeling services for occasional needs. We support CMOS, bipolar, diode, JFET, SOI, TFT, HEMT, IGBT, resistor and capacitor models.

Modeling services are performed using our Utmost IV modeling and device characterization software.

Our Device Characterization Laboratory measurement capability ranges from DC to 67GHz. We also accept data from our customers or data generated from TCAD simulations.

Silvaco is an established leader in providing affordable and high quality SPICE modeling services with fast turnaround time.
