Social Media at Silvaco

Social Media at Silvaco
by Daniel Payne on 12-21-2013 at 4:58 pm

Founded back in 1984, Silvaco has been in business for some 29 years now, focusing on the TCAD and EDA markets.

Browsing their Home page at www.silvaco.com we find four social media links in the footer: Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and LinkedIn.


Facebook

This page has 241 likes and most of the posts have technical articles on TCAD and EDA. I see about 2 to 5 posts per month. About half of the posts are for articles of interest to the industry and link to non-Silvaco sites like EE Times and SemiWiki. Their Facebook page was setup on April 16, 2012.

Twitter

This corporate account was also setup in 2012 and has 21 followers, and you can expect a handful of tweets per month.

The most popular hashtags are: #Silvaco #TCAD. The most frequent links go to articles at www.planetanalog.com and www.silvaco.com/examples/.

YouTube

Starting in November 2011 a YouTube channel was started and you can find 13 videos with up to 1,255 views. Here’s the most popular video so far:

Other popular videos include:
