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

SEBERANG PERAI, Malaysia, June 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The semiconductor industry is under growing pressure to deliver more capable technologies while reducing development time, cost, and risk.

In response to the growing demand for advanced semiconductor development, CADFEM APAC, 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.

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

TAIPEI, June 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- GIGABYTE, the world's leading computer brand, concluded COMPUTEX 2026 with multiple products recognized by international media and industry organizations. Presented under the 40th Anniversary theme ENTER INFINITY, the showcase highlighted advancements across AI, gaming, product design, and user experiences, earning numerous Best of COMPUTEX awards, Editor's Choice recognitions, and industry honors.

Leading the showcase was the X870E AORUS INFINITY NEXT motherboard, which earned widespread recognition from international media for its combination of space-inspired engineering, advanced thermal technologies, and distinctive aesthetics. Featuring rocket-thruster-grade thermal materials, 3D metal-printing technologies, an AI Gyroid Structure that increases cooling surface area by up to 44%, and a 64-phase power design capable of delivering up to 5,120 amps, the motherboard was praised by Tom's Hardware as being "packed with never-before-used space-grade thermal engineering and a never-before-seen aesthetic." The launch also introduced the broader INFINITY Series, spanning motherboards, graphics cards, gaming peripherals, and chassis, extending the ENTER INFINITY vision across the entire PC build ecosystem.

GIGABYTE also demonstrated how AI and gaming technologies are converging across its ecosystem. AI TOP solutions, AI PCs, and the award-winning AORUS GeForce RTX™ 5090 AI BOX showcased scalable local AI capabilities from personal productivity to advanced AI workflows. The COMPUTEX Best Choice Award-winning AORUS MASTER 16 AI gaming laptop highlighted GIGABYTE's commitment to delivering intelligent and high-performance gaming experiences. The company also expanded its display portfolio with the media-recognized FM275K16P, the world's first 27-inch 5K Multi-Mode Mini LED gaming monitor, further reinforcing its leadership in next-generation display technologies.

Design innovation remained another key focus throughout the showcase. From the award-winning AORUS GeForce RTX™ 5080 INFINITY WOOD graphics card to the STEALTH cableless PC ecosystem, GIGABYTE demonstrated how performance-focused engineering and premium aesthetics can coexist across modern gaming platforms. The same design philosophy extended to the ENTER INFINITY exhibition itself. Through modular booth architecture, reusable display systems, and sustainable operational planning, GIGABYTE created an engaging exhibition experience that received the COMPUTEX 2026 ECOBooth Sustainable Exhibition Certification, demonstrating how thoughtful design can support both visitor engagement and environmental responsibility.

As GIGABYTE celebrates its 40th anniversary, ENTER INFINITY reflects both a milestone and a vision for the future, bringing together AI, gaming, design, and sustainability to shape the next generation of intelligent computing. For more information, please visit the official website.
