Chinese chip equipment supplier SiCarrier’s unit launches EDA software



Qiyunfang, the SiCarrier unit, on Wednesday launched two EDA products – one for schematic capture and another for printed circuit board (PCB) design – at the three-day WeSemiBay Semiconductor Ecosystem Expo 2025 in Shenzhen that concludes on Friday.

The development of new domestic EDA products reflected the Chinese semiconductor industry’s efforts to enhance self-sufficiency in chip design software, a market that is dominated by foreign suppliers Cadence Design Systems, Synopsys and Siemens EDA.

Qiyunfang’s EDA products are compatible with a wide range of domestic operating systems, databases and middleware platforms, according to the company. The new EDA products have already been adopted by more than 20,000 engineers, the company added.

It also claimed that the software’s performance exceeded industry benchmarks by 30 per cent, while also reducing hardware development cycles by up to 40 per cent.
