Silvaco

A three-month internship in 2022 in Montbonnot: integrated-circuit netlist reduction and the simulations around it, in Python and XML.

Silvaco publishes software for designing and simulating integrated circuits. The internship lasted three months, in 2022, at the Montbonnot site.

The subject: netlist reduction, netlists being text descriptions of a circuit component by component, and the simulations that check a reduced circuit still behaves like the original. The work sat inside the publisher’s pre-release test framework, with its Python and XML tooling.

It is the one place in this path where the circuit was silicon.
