Build Better Pixels Faster: TCAD-Powered Digital Twins for Next-Gen CIS

Please note that this webinar has been rescheduled from Dec 11, 2025 to February 12, 2026. If you have already registered there is no need to register again.

Accelerating CMOS Image Sensor (CIS) innovation requires far more than traditional process and device exploration. As pixel architectures become increasingly complex—driven by demands for higher sensitivity, reduced noise, improved color fidelity, and aggressive scaling—engineers need faster, more predictive ways to design and optimize next-generation pixels.

In this webinar, we show how TCAD-powered digital twins enable teams to build better pixels faster by providing deep, physics-based insight into the electro-optical mechanisms that define CIS performance. Using Silvaco’s Victory TCAD™ and the FTCO™ flow, attendees will learn how multi-physics simulation, calibrated models, virtual experimentation, and advanced analytics dramatically shorten development cycles while improving accuracy and yield.

We begin with a concise overview of CIS device fundamentals and pixel architecture trends, then demonstrate how predictive TCAD digital twins can reveal latent variables, identify design trade-offs, and accelerate process–device–optical co-optimization. Practical examples will highlight how Victory TCAD, Victory DoE, and Victory Analytics create a high-fidelity virtual environment for exploring new pixel concepts, improving performance, and reducing costly prototyping iterations.

Whether developing advanced imaging systems or enhancing existing CIS technologies, this webinar will show how simulation-driven digital twins empower engineers to innovate faster, reduce risk, and deliver competitive, high-performance pixels to market.
