Silicon engineering is the foundation for generations of chips and electronics innovations. Based on industry standards, our silicon engineering tools are production-proven at both established and emerging process nodes down to 3nm and below. Our tools optimize tradeoffs between speed, area, power, test, and yield.
Industry-leading TCAD tools for process and device simulation
