Silvaco Group, Inc. (“Silvaco”), a provider of TCAD, EDA
software, and SIP solutions that enable semiconductor design and AI
through software and innovation, today announced an enhanced
partnership with Micron Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq: MU) (“Micron”),
which includes:
- Expanding the scope and extending the term of our software
license and support services.
- Securing a $5.0 million investment from Micron in the form of a
senior subordinated convertible promissory note, reflecting our
partnership with Micron for the development of Silvaco’s FTCO™
digital twin modeling tools.
Dr. Babak Taheri, Silvaco’s CEO, remarked, “We have combined our
expertise in semiconductor technologies with machine learning and
data analysis to develop an artificial intelligence-based solution
named fab technology co-optimization, or FTCO™, for wafer-level
fabrication facilities.” Dr. Taheri continued, “FTCO™ uses
manufacturing data to perform statistical and physics-based machine
learning software simulations to create a computer model or
‘digital twin’ of a wafer that can be used to simulate the
fabrication process. Customers can utilize this model to run
simulation experiments to understand and enhance wafer yield
without the need to run physical wafers which can be time-consuming
and expensive.”
“Micron is excited to strengthen our partnership with Silvaco,”
said Dr. Gurtej Sandhu, principal fellow of Technology Pathfinding
at Micron Technology. “Silvaco’s AI and digital twin solution is
enabling us to accelerate our groundbreaking advancements in memory
and storage.”
