About This Webinar
We’re currently living in a technological revolution driven by the integration of photonic and electronic components into monolithic devices that, in turn, are enabling a growing number of sustainable, energy-efficient solutions to challenges such as the expansion of 5G data networks and data centers, the development of safer autonomous vehicles, and more efficient food production.
A library of highly qualified building blocks in the form of process design kits (PDKs) is the key to speeding up the time to market and reducing production costs for this new generation of PICs. With this library, product developers can quickly adapt the functionality and production processes of their PIC devices to the specifications of target markets.
Smeets helps viewers understand which building blocks this PDK library needs to include, the industry challenges faced when compiling them, and how organizations such as the PhotonDelta ecosystem are supporting collaboration between the semiconductor industry and end users to achieve a top-class library.
