About Global TCAD Solutions
Global TCAD Solutions is a software company based in Vienna that develops TCAD tools (Technology Computer Aided Design) for the simulation of semiconductor devices. The portfolio includes the GTS Framework, the Nano Device Simulator (NDS), Minimos-NT, the VSP simulator and the GTS Cell Designer. The tools cover applications ranging from advanced CMOS logic (FinFET, nanosheet) to memory (VNAND, DRAM, emerging) and displays (a-Si, IGZO) as well as materials research (2D materials, TMD, ferroelectrics, GaN), power/analog/RF and cryogenic electronics. In addition to software licenses, GTS offers Technology Path-Finding and Design-Technology Co-Optimization (DTCO) as well as support by application engineers and training. Customers include companies such as Sony, NXP Semiconductors, Unisantis and Trusted Semiconductor Solutions as well as research institutes such as the Institute of Microelectronics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and TU Wien.
