Simulation & analysis reduce physical testing costs significantly.
PIC Software provides plasma and particle simulation software together with contract analysis, improvement proposals, development, and design services. By reducing the number of physical prototypes and validation tests, we help accelerate R&D and product development while lowering costs.

Analyze before building physical prototypes,
then validate only promising conditions
Company and product names are confidential. This case shows how simulation was incorporated into a development flow that had relied mainly on physical testing, reducing prototyping, evaluation, and rework.

What You Can Do with PIC-PLASMA 3D
PIC-PLASMA 3D is simulation software that analyzes plasma and particle behavior inside equipment in three dimensions, helping compare conditions and visualize technical challenges. It helps narrow down promising conditions early in R&D and equipment design, making physical validation more efficient.

Understand 3D Plasma & Particle Behavior Inside Equipment
Analyze electron, ion, and neutral-particle behavior together with plasma distributions in 3D to visualize what is happening inside equipment. This helps identify distribution nonuniformity and localized changes that are difficult to capture through experiments alone.
Evaluate the Effects of Equipment Geometry and Conditions Using CAD
Using CAD geometry, you can analyze the effects of equipment structure, electrode placement, and operating conditions. Comparing candidate designs before physical prototyping helps narrow down promising configurations and conditions, improving development efficiency.
Organize Analysis Results for R&D and Improvement Studies
Use analysis results to visualize issues, evaluate improvement ideas, and select conditions for physical validation. PIC-PLASMA 3D can be used both as an in-house engineering tool and as a platform supporting contract analysis and improvement proposals.
Developers and simulation engineers
support you directly.
At PIC Software, the engineers at the core of our software development and simulation technology work directly on customer challenges. We do more than provide software—we support the entire process through alignment between simulation results and physical validation.
Koki Sakamoto
The plasma simulation code originally developed for research at Kyoto University forms the technical foundation of today's PIC-PLASMA 3D.
His work has consistently focused on simulation technology, from plasma and particle simulation research to industrial electron-trajectory analysis and simulation software development.
PIC/MCC & Software Development
We develop simulation software covering 3D PIC/MCC calculations, particle behavior, electric and magnetic fields, CAD geometry, visualization, and more.
Plasma & Process Analysis
We analyze plasma distributions, particle behavior, and the effects of operating-condition differences for etching, CVD, sputtering, plasma surface activation, and more.
Improvement, Development, Design & Physical Integration
Based on analysis results, we evaluate improvements to equipment structures and process conditions, then connect comparisons with physical results to the next design and validation cycle.
