"Emerging markets such as internet of things, wearables, and next-generation automotive are placing stringent demands on IC designers to meet performance and time-to-market requirements, as well as effectively manage complexity, security, power, and cost issues," said David L. Dutton, Chief Executive Officer of Silvaco. "Third-party semiconductor IP helps mitigate cost and timing risk and is an increasingly important part of the IC design process. In combination with our widely deployed TCAD-to-signoff software, our partnership with IPextreme now enables us to provide a complete solution of silicon-proven IP as well as robust IP management tools and methodology. Silvaco's growth is driven by providing complete solutions for our customers' time-sensitive and critical problems, and we are committed to building out these solutions internally or through strategic partnerships."

"IPextreme has built its reputation as a leader in IP commercialization," said Warren Savage, President and CEO of IPextreme.

We are excited to partner with Silvaco, whose established global sales channel will enable us to proliferate our IP offerings to help our mutual customers improve design performance, increase quality-of-design results, accelerate time-to-market, and raise engineering productivity."
