AMD Acquires Enosemi to Advance Co-Packaged Optics Capabilities

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
SANTA CLARA, Calif., May 29, 2025 — AMD has acquired silicon photonics startup Enosemi to scale its ability to support and develop co-packaged optics solutions across next-gen AI systems. Financial terms of the acquisitions were not disclosed.

“Enosemi has a proven track record of building and shipping photonic circuits in volume, a feat that few select teams have accomplished,” said Brian Amick, senior vice president of technology and engineering at AMD. Enosemi has collaborated with AMD as an external development partner on photonics projects.
 
Enosemi, which emerged from stealth in 2023, has existing 1.6 Tbit/s photonic chiplets and design IP. The company uses a 300-mm wafer manufacturing process, and last year made available a portfolio of high-speed IP in the GlobalFoundries Fotonix IP platform. Enosemi partnered with Jabil earlier this year to develop advanced packaging process technology for photonic chips.

integrated photonics
Integrated photonics is a field of study and technology that involves the integration of optical components, such as lasers, modulators, detectors, and waveguides, on a single chip or substrate. The goal of integrated photonics is to miniaturize and consolidate optical elements in a manner similar to the integration of electronic components on a microchip in traditional integrated circuits. Key aspects of integrated photonics include: Miniaturization: Integrated photonics aims to...
semiconductor
A semiconductor is a type of material that has electrical conductivity between that of a conductor and an insulator. In other words, semiconductors have properties that are intermediate between metals (good conductors of electricity) and insulators (poor conductors of electricity). The conductivity of a semiconductor can be controlled and modified by factors such as temperature, impurities, or an applied electric field. The most common semiconductors are crystalline solids, and they are...
