Facebook X LinkedIn Email
ERFURT, Germany, Nov. 14, 2024 — X-FAB Silicon Foundries SE, an analog/mixed-signal and specialty foundry, and SMART Photonics, an indium phosphide (InP) integrated photonics foundry, have partnered to integrate X-FAB’s silicon photonics platform with SMART Photonics’ InP chiplets by using micro-transfer printing (MTP) for heterogeneous integration. The collaborators expect the combination to enable new capabilities for datacom and telecom applications. InP technology supports modulator bandwidths exceeding 120 GHz, making it suitable for next-generation multi-terabit telecom and datacom standards. In...Read full article

    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...
    indium phosphide
    Indium phosphide (InP) is a compound semiconductor material composed of indium (In) and phosphorus (P). It belongs to the III-V group of semiconductors, where elements from groups III and V of the periodic table combine to form a variety of important semiconductor materials. Indium phosphide is known for its favorable electronic and optical properties, making it widely used in the fabrication of optoelectronic devices. Key features and properties of indium phosphide include: Bandgap:...
