It is headquartered in Santa Clara, California, with eight offices worldwide including US offices in Austin, Texas, North Chelmsford, Massachusetts, and Phoenix, Arizona. In 2003 Silvaco acquired EDA Pioneer Simucad, for its brand name as well as for its SILOS and Hyperfault simulators. Simucad was one of the oldest companies in the IC design industry.〔 The original Simucad was formed in 1981 with pioneering business in Verilog simulation. It was acquired by HHB Systems, which in its turn was acquired by Daisy Systems in 1980s and in the early 1990s Simucad was spun off as a management buyout. After purchasing Simucad in 2003 Silvaco re-launched the brand by spinning out its EDA product line in 2006 under the Simucad name.〔("Simucad spins out of Silvaco with eye toward IPO" ), Michael Santarini, 09 January 2006, ''Electronics Weekly''〕〔(EETimes.com - Simucad spins out from Silvaco, plans IPO in '06 )〕 Simucad acquired ownership all of Silvaco's simulation and CAD products and intellectual property, most notably the SmartSpice circuit simulator. As of March 1, 2010, Simucad Design Automation and Silvaco Data Systems were merged back together forming Silvaco, Inc. In 2012 David Halliday〔 was appointed CEO after Ivan Pesic the company founder died from cancer. David Halliday joined Silvaco in 1992 and prior to his appointment as CEO he was the company COO. David also held the office of Vice President of Engineering for much of his tenure at Silvaco. In 2015, Silvaco announced a new CEO, David Dutton. The company also announced its entry into the power integrity signoff market via the acquisition of Invarian. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Silvaco」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
