SANTA CLARA, Calif., May 1, 2025 — Silvaco, a provider of software and technology for semiconductor design and digital twin modeling, has acquired Tech-X Corporation, a provider of multi-physics simulation software used in photonics, electromagnetics, and plasma dynamics. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

“By leveraging our [technology computer-aided design] foundation, we are expanding further into fast multi-physics transistor-level simulation from device to wafer-scale geometries, for photonic components, processes, materials, and plasma modeling,” said Babak Taheri, CEO of Silvaco.

The combination of Tech-X’s multi-physics simulation tools with Silvaco’s Victory technology computer-aided design platform is expected to allow the creation of more accurate digital twin models for photonics, semiconductor devices, and wafer-scale plasma etching. Tech-X brings expertise in developing state-of-the-art algorithms that harness high-performance, multi-node GPU-based computing to significantly improve simulation speed and accuracy, the companies said.

Glossary
semiconductor
A semiconductor is a type of material that has electrical conductivity between that of a conductor and an insulator. In other words, semiconductors have properties that are intermediate between metals (good conductors of electricity) and insulators (poor conductors of electricity). The conductivity of a semiconductor can be controlled and modified by factors such as temperature, impurities, or an applied electric field. The most common semiconductors are crystalline solids, and they are...
