Semiconductor modelling technology 2023: market landscape and new technology trends

Datum der Veröffentlichung: 2023-10-26

With the rapid development of semiconductor technology, semiconductor modelling has become an important part of the industry as a whole. Modelling plays a vital role in the semiconductor design and fabrication process, predicting and optimising device performance, lifetime and reliability.

Semiconductor modelling is based on advanced mathematical models and algorithms used to simulate the behaviour of semiconductor materials and devices under different conditions. Such modelling not only helps researchers to understand the fundamental properties and behaviour of semiconductors, but also provides guidance for the development of new technologies.

Globally, the semiconductor modelling market has developed a diverse competitive landscape. Key market players include Synopsys, Cadence, ANSYS, and Silvaco, all of which have extensive experience in product development, marketing, and sales networking.

Semiconductor modelling technology has gone through many stages of development since its inception. From the initial simple models to the current complex, multi-scale and multi-physics models, all of which reflect technological advances and changing market needs. Currently, the main modelling types include device models, process models and system-level models, which are suitable for different applications and requirements.

Semiconductor modelling has a profound impact on the entire semiconductor industry chain. In the design phase, modelling can help engineers optimize the device structure and improve performance; in the manufacturing phase, it can guide the selection of process parameters and improve yield; and in the application phase, modelling can predict the behaviour of the device and ensure reliability.

Currently, Synopsys, Cadence, and ANSYS occupy 30%, 25%, and 20% of the market, respectively, reflecting their leading positions in product quality, innovation, and marketing.

The semiconductor modelling industry chain involves multiple segments. Upstream suppliers provide key software tools and algorithms, while downstream are semiconductor manufacturers and design companies that use modelling techniques to optimise their products and processes.

In a related recent event, in early 2023, Synopsys announced a new semiconductor modelling tool that employs state-of-the-art algorithms and computational techniques to provide accurate simulation results for ultra-high frequency RF applications.
