- Wavetek adopts Silvaco's Victory TCAD™ for developing GaN-based devices.
- Technology targets high-performance applications in 5G, Wi-Fi, and IoT markets.
- Silvaco's platform enables precise GaN device modeling and rapid prototyping.
Silvaco Group (SVCO, Financial), a leading provider of TCAD and EDA software, has announced a strategic partnership with Wavetek to leverage its Victory TCAD™ solution. This collaboration is set to advance the development of next-generation Gallium Nitride (GaN) devices aimed at high-performance connectivity applications, particularly in the burgeoning 5G, Wi-Fi, and Internet of Things (IoT) markets.
Wavetek will utilize Silvaco's advanced simulation tools to design and optimize high electron mobility transistors (HEMT) and pseudomorphic HEMTs (pHEMT). The Victory TCAD platform is instrumental in enabling accurate GaN device modeling, providing an avenue for virtual testing and evaluation, which significantly reduces the need for costly physical prototyping and accelerates the research and development process.
"Silvaco's Victory TCAD platform gives us the ability to precisely model GaN device behavior under real-world conditions," stated Dr. Barry Lin, CTO of Wavetek. This comprehensive insight is essential for meeting the performance and reliability standards necessary for next-generation RF and power applications.
The Victory suite supports a wide array of advanced technologies including RF, Power, Photonics, CMOS, Memory, and Display, facilitating semiconductor manufacturers in accelerating R&D cycles and decreasing time-to-market. The partnership not only underscores Wavetek's commitment to technological innovation but also strengthens Silvaco's position within the GaN semiconductor market.
Eric Guichard, Ph.D., Senior Vice President and General Manager of Silvaco's TCAD Division, commented on the collaboration, expressing enthusiasm about supporting Wavetek's development of cutting-edge GaN technologies. This move is strategically aligned with Silvaco's mission to meet the modern semiconductor industry's rigorous demands in high-frequency and Wide Band-gap market segments.
