Crosslight Software Inc. is an international company headquartered in greater Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Officially spun off from the National Research Council of Canada (NRC) in 1995,[1] it provides Technology Computer Aided Design (TCAD) tools for semiconductor device and process simulations.

Crosslight's founder, Dr. Z.M. Simon Li (李湛明), is a pioneer[2] in the field of optoelectronic device simulation TCAD and based on this work, Crosslight claims to be the first commercial vendor of TCAD tools for quantum well laser diodes. Crosslight also licenses other technology from the Stanford University TCAD Group for semiconductor process simulations.
