# Silvaco expands partnership with APEC on silicon carbide power device development

News: Suppliers

Silvaco Group Inc of Santa Clara, CA, USA — which provides AI-enabled technology computer-aided design (TCAD), electronic design automation (EDA) software and semiconductor intellectual property (SIP) for process and device development — has announced an expanded strategic partnership with Taiwan-based silicon and silicon carbide power device developer and and manufacturer Advanced Power Electronics Corp (APEC).

APEC has significantly upgraded and expanded its technology and design flows with more of Silvaco’s technology solutions. It has made a long-term commitment to deploying Victory Device 2D simulation tools along with Gateway and SmartSpice. This expanded deployment should enable APEC to accelerate its development of silicon carbide power devices while optimizing device performance and time-to-market.

“We are thrilled to deepen our partnership with Silvaco as we accelerate development of silicon carbide products,” says APEC’s president Dr CS Chang. “Silvaco's solutions are an integral part of our design flow, enabling us to explore complex device physics and optimize our SiC technologies,” he adds. “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 silicon carbide power solutions.”

The partnership reflects APEC’s strategic commitment to leveraging advanced simulation tools in the rapidly evolving power electronics market. With applications spanning automotive, industrial, renewable energy and consumer electronics, APEC’s silicon and silicon carbide devices are said to require sophisticated modeling capabilities that Silvaco’s TCAD and EDA solutions can provide.

“APEC’s commitment to our solutions demonstrates the critical role that advanced TCAD and EDA solutions play in accelerating power device innovation,” says Silvaco’s chief revenue officer Ian Chen. “Their long-term commitment reinforces the clear value created by our solutions,” he adds.

Silvaco’s Victory TCAD platform enables comprehensive process and device simulation for power semiconductors. Gateway provides seamless integration between TCAD and circuit simulation. SmartSpice delivers fast, accurate SPICE simulation for power device characterization and circuit design. Together, these solutions are said to enable APEC to perform design technology co-optimization (DTCO) and accelerate the development of power devices with improved performance, reliability and efficiency.
