Synopsys' manufacturing tools selected by SVTC

SVTC Technologies has chosen Synopsys' manufacturing tool suite to reduce time-to-market for a variety of products using CMOS processes, MEMS, photovoltaics and other related nanotechnologies.

"Our customers choose SVTC because of our ability to provide the services and facilities that accelerate the time to commercialize innovative technologies for transistors, logic, MEMS/MOEMS, photovoltaics, biotechnology, image sensors and high-voltage applications," said Wilbur Catabay, vice president technologies, SVTC Technologies. "We selected Synopsys' manufacturing solution not only because it can handle the wide variety of processes that we support in a hosted model, but also because Synopsys provides a comprehensive design and verification platform that allows our customers to generate SPICE models and process development kits (PDKs) and productize their ideas."

"We work with SVTC to help customers develop and bring to market products that not only use CMOS processes, but also MEMS, solar and other 'More-than-Moore' technologies," said Howard Ko, general manager and senior vice president of the Silicon Engineering Group at Synopsys. "Collaborating with companies like SVTC allows us to advance our technology to meet the needs of our leading-edge customers."
