CADFEM APAC and SilTerra Malaysia Partner to Advance Semiconductor Innovation Through
Simulation-Driven Engineering

In response to the growing demand for advanced semiconductor development, [CADFEM APAC](https://cadfem.ai/),
a leading provider of engineering simulation and digital engineering solutions, 
has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with SilTerra Malaysia Sdn. Bhd.,
one of Malaysia’s leading semiconductor foundries and fabless design service providers.

The collaboration establishes a strategic framework to accelerate innovation through
simulation-led development, stronger design-process alignment, and advanced digital
engineering methodologies. By combining CADFEM APAC’s expertise in multiphysics 
simulation, predictive engineering, and digital workflows with SilTerra’s strengths
in semiconductor manufacturing and process development, the partnership aims to 
create a more efficient path from concept to silicon.

A key focus is the development of DTCO and STCO frameworks that integrate device,
process, and design domains within a unified digital environment. This will enable
earlier technology exploration, faster validation, improved model correlation, and
reduced development risk.

CADFEM APAC and SilTerra will also explore Agentic AI to enhance semiconductor workflows.
Technologies including NLP, RAG, AI-assisted EDA environments, and PDK integrations
will help accelerate development and collaboration.

Commenting on this joint effort, **Beng** **Joo** **Thung,** **Senior** **Vice****
President,** **at** **SilTerra ****Malaysia Sdn. Bhd**., said, _"The future of semiconductor
advancement will be defined by how effectively organizations can connect design,
process development, and manufacturing within a unified engineering framework. Our
collaboration with CADFEM APAC represents an important step in that direction. By
combining simulation-driven development with real manufacturing insight, we aim 
to accelerate innovation, improve development efficiency, and strengthen the industry’s
ability to bring next-generation technologies to market with greater confidence."_

The engagement will establish feedback between simulation and fabrication, improving
alignment between design intent and manufacturing outcomes. Both organizations will
also investigate reliability-focused methodologies for automotive, industrial electronics,
and other high-dependability applications.

Speaking on the alliance, **Dr.-Ing.** **Madhukar** **Chatiri,** **CEO** **of** **
CADFEM** **APAC,** said, _"The semiconductor industry is increasingly being defined
by how quickly organizations can translate ideas into manufacturable technologies.
By bringing together predictive engineering, simulation expertise, and manufacturing
knowledge, this collaboration creates a stronger foundation for faster development,
better design decisions, and reduced technology risk."_

Through this MoU, CADFEM APAC and SilTerra reaffirm their commitment to advancing
semiconductor innovation, strengthening design-manufacturing alignment, and supporting
the growth of the regional semiconductor ecosystem.
