Silvaco enters research, development partnership with KHU’s Jin Jang

Silvaco (SVCO) Group announced a strategic research and development partnership with Professor Jin Jang and the Advanced Display Research Center at Kyung Hee University, South Korea. This four-year collaboration, which officially commenced on February 1, aims to advance display technology innovation through the integration of FTCO with AI-driven Digital Twin modeling. Under the partnership, Silvaco will fund Ph.D. students at KHU and closely collaborate with Prof. Jang’s team to provide high-quality measurement data for emerging display technologies-specifically Micro-LED and OLED. The joint research effort will combine this experimental data with Silvaco’s industry-leading simulation tools and FTCO solution platform to create a comprehensive display technology Digital Twin spanning process, device, and circuit levels. Silvaco’s role in the partnership includes running corresponding TCAD simulations and developing a complete FTCO flow using Victory TCAD simulators with Victory DoE and Victory Analytics in conjunction with its EDA tools, SmartSpice and UTMOST IV. Combined with experimental data from KHU, this FTCO-based Digital Twin will enable fab engineers to simulate the impact of process variations on device and circuit performance in real-time, significantly accelerating optimization cycles in manufacturing environments.
