从全球范围来看，三大企业垄断全球75-80%的份额，这三大企业就是美国的新思科技（Synopsys）、Cadence、西门子EDA（原来也是美国的，后来被西门 子收购）。 在中国市场，这三大EDA企业，曾经最高时拿走了85%以上的市场份额，国产EDA和其它开源EDA软件等的份额还不到15%，其中国产不到10%，可见我们 有多依赖美国的EDA了。 但是后来的事情，大家也都清楚，那就是美国不断的对中国卡脖子，连EDA也卡了。 这就激发起了中国国产替代的热潮，国产芯片企业和国产EDA企业联手，大家不断的提高芯片工艺，完善工艺流程。 现在的芯片企业，都离不开EDA软件，芯片设计需要，芯片制造也需要，芯片封测还需要。 EDA已经是集芯片的设计、仿真、测试、模拟等于一体了，没有EDA软件，可以说这些半导体企业是寸步难行。 但EDA软件，一直以来，都是被美国企业垄断的。 Sassine Ghazi还称，目前中国市场，正在寻找替代方案，中国客户正在加速流失，但新思科技却无能为力。 事实上，不只是新思科技如此，像Cadence、西门子EDA都是如此，他们在中国市场的收入开始下滑，中国市场贡献的收入占比，持续降低，原因就是中国 ...
