"This is a continuation of our commitment to Asia," said David Halliday, CEO of Silvaco. "We are excited to have such a high quality company working on our behalf to bring world class TCAD and EDA products to the Chinese market. Empyrean is a developer of their own EDA tools which have a proven sales record via an extensive network throughout China consisting of talented sales and engineering personnel. Silvaco's extensive product range will complement Empyrean's existing products."
"While there is already good synergy between the companies' product lines," said Mr. Halliday, "Silvaco will integrate Huada Empyean's products into the Silvaco flow. Initially we will add Empyrean's AEOLUS SPICE simulator to the AccuCell and AccuCore tool set."
"We are proud to embark on this partnership with Silvaco," said Weiping Liu, CEO of Empyrean. "We believe that there is a great opportunity for Silvaco's products in China. We are especially excited to further expand into the TCAD market with Silvaco."
China's electronics industry has become a massive contributor to the country's GDP. In 2011 China overtook the USA as the largest market for personal computers and is now the world's largest smart phone market. Coupled with this increase in the electronics industry is a rapid increase in the electronic design and services industry. This new partnership between Silvaco and Empyrean will help both companies to capitalize on this growth.
