Silvaco announces SiC partnership with APEC
Silvaco Group, a provider of TCAD, EDA software, and SIP solutions, has announced an expanded strategic partnership with Advanced Power Electronics Corp. (APEC), a developer of silicon and SiC power devices based in Taiwan.
APEC has made a long-term commitment to deploying Victory Device 2D simulation tools along with Gateway and SmartSpice solutions. The company says this expanded deployment will help accelerate its development of advanced SiC power devices while optimising device performance and time-to-market.
"We are thrilled to deepen our partnership with Silvaco as we accelerate development of SiC products," said CS Chang, president of APEC. "Silvaco's solutions are an integral part of our design flow, enabling us to explore complex device physics and optimize our SiC technologies. The combination of Victory Device, Gateway, and SmartSpice provides us with a comprehensive solution that bridges the gap between process development and circuit design, allowing us to deliver superior SiC power solutions to our customers."
With applications spanning automotive, industrial, renewable energy, and consumer electronics, APEC's silicon and SiC devices require sophisticated modeling capabilities that Silvaco's industry- TCAD and EDA solutions provide.
"We are excited to deepen our relationship with APEC," said Ian Chen, chief revenue officer at Silvaco Group. "APEC's commitment to our solutions demonstrates the critical role that advanced TCAD and EDA solutions play in accelerating power device innovation. Their long-term commitment reinforces the clear value created by our solutions. We look forward to supporting APEC as they push the boundaries of SiC power device technology."
Silvaco's Victory TCAD platform enables process and device simulation for power semiconductors. Gateway provides integration between TCAD and circuit simulation. SmartSpice delivers fast, accurate SPICE simulation for power device characterisation and circuit design. Together, these solutions enable APEC to perform Design Technology Co-Optimisation (DTCO) and accelerate the development of next-generation power devices with improved performance, reliability, and efficiency.
