Core Viewpoint - The future of domestic EDA (Electronic Design Automation) in China depends not only on technological breakthroughs but also on the resilience and depth of the entire industry ecosystem [1][11]. Group 1: Industry Context - EDA is a critical "bottleneck" in the integrated circuit industry, historically dominated by three international giants: Synopsys, Cadence, and Siemens EDA, which hold over 75% of the global market share, particularly in digital EDA and IP fields [2]. - In May 2025, the U.S. Department of Commerce notified these companies to prohibit providing EDA software and technical support to mainland China, but this ban was lifted in July of the same year, highlighting the potential "supply interruption" risks for China's integrated circuit design software [2]. Group 2: Domestic EDA Development - HJGS (合见工软) has focused on addressing the core shortcomings in domestic EDA, particularly in the high-barrier digital EDA and IP sectors, and has become a major supplier of digital EDA tools in China [2][4]. - HJGS has achieved full-process coverage in digital verification and has commercialized its UniVista Unified Verification Hardware System (UVHS) in several leading enterprises [4]. - The company is gradually aligning its toolchain with international giants by developing a comprehensive suite of EDA tools, including high-performance chip interconnect IP [4][5]. Group 3: Industry Challenges - The domestic EDA industry faces common bottlenecks, including reliance on deep mathematical foundations and physical simulation capabilities, as well as the need for long-term investment in core technology accumulation [4][10]. - The fragmented nature of the domestic EDA market, where most companies can only provide partial "point tools," hampers the construction of a complete toolchain, leading to challenges in collaboration efficiency and system-level support for chip design companies [5][10]. Group 4: Technological Integration and Innovation - HJGS is actively promoting the establishment of digital verification database standards to reduce cross-enterprise collaboration costs and enhance overall efficiency in the industry [8]. - The integration of AI into EDA tools is in its early stages, with HJGS exploring AI applications to improve verification processes, enhance efficiency, and reduce costs [9]. - The company has launched the UniVista Design Assistant (UDA), an AI-driven platform that generates high-quality verification code from natural language instructions, significantly reducing error rates and code generation time [9]. Group 5: Future Outlook - The rise of domestic EDA is not merely about point replacements but represents a long-term, systematic, and ecological competition, with HJGS and other industry leaders expected to drive the formation of a cohesive competitive landscape for high-end chips in China [8][11]. - The industry must overcome challenges related to technology accumulation, talent scarcity, and isolated ecosystems to achieve comprehensive integration and deep collaboration across the entire EDA process [10].
