TCAD products include process simulators, device simulators, stress simulators and others. In the EDA space, they provide analog and mixed-signal/RF products, Custom IC CAD, Interconnect modeling, and digital CAD.
After purchasing Simucad in 2003, Silvaco re-launched the brand by spinning out its EDA product line in 2006 under the Simucad name.

As of March 1, 2010, Simucad Design Automation and Silvaco Data Systems were merged back together forming Silvaco, Inc.
