Presentations
Silicon Photonics Process Technologies Considerations for High Volume and Flexibility
Tower Semiconductor’s PH18 Silicon Photonics foundry offering is designed to address the growing demand for the data center interconnect market. Enabling high yield and low cost PICs are among our leading considerations. In this talk we will discuss process control with PCM (process control monitor) devices in a high-volume manufacturing foundry environment. The new features from the recent development will be present.
Panel Sessions
State-of-the-art and future of Hybrid Silicon Photonic Foundries
Recently Silicon Photonic foundries have been incorporating InP building blocks in their PDKs. Industrial efforts from Tower Semiconductor, SCINTIL photonics, Skorpios, and Global Foundries should be highlighted. In parallel, we have seen advances in new on-chip modulators- plus the new materials to make them. For example, Lithium Niobite from Hyperlight or Ori Chip, Polymer-based modulators from Lightwave Logic, NLM Photonics or Sylorix, plasmonics from Polariton or developments Lumiphase made with BTO materials. The list of companies is increasing fast.
