Wavetek Deploys Silvaco’s Victory TCAD

Silvaco Group, Inc., a provider of technology computer-aided design (TCAD), electronic design automoation software, and solutions that enable semiconductor design and digital twin modeling through AI software, reports that Wavetek has adopted Silvaco’s Victory TCAD solution for the development of next-generation Gallium Nitride (GaN) devices targeting high-performance connectivity applications in 5G, Wi-Fi, and IoT markets.

Wavetek is leveraging Silvaco’s advanced simulation tools to design and optimize high electron mobility transistors (HEMT) and pseudomorphic HEMTs (pHEMT). Silvaco’s Victory TCAD solution delivers accurate GaN-based device models, enabling rapid prototyping and device performance evaluation before fabrication.

“Silvaco’s Victory TCAD platform gives us the ability to precisely model GaN device behavior under real-world conditions,” says Dr. Barry Lin, chief technology officer of Wavetek. “This level of insight is critical for achieving the performance and reliability targets demanded by next-generation RF and power applications.”

Silvaco’s Victory suite supports a range of advanced technologies including RF, Power, Photonics, CMOS, Memory, and Display. With device simulation, process modeling, and parameter extraction capabilities, Victory TCAD helps semiconductor companies accelerate R&D cycles and reduce time to market.

“We are pleased to support Wavetek in their development of cutting-edge GaN technologies,” says Eric Guichard, Ph.D., senior vice president and general manager of Silvaco’s TCAD Division. “Our simulation solutions are engineered to meet the rigorous demands of modern semiconductor innovation in high-frequency and Wide Band-gap market segments.”
