TFLN Photonic Foundry Services

From Prototyping to Industrial-Scale Wafer Manufacturing

CCRAFT is an independent pure-play thin-film lithium niobate (TFLN) photonic foundry, delivering advanced chip manufacturing services from prototyping to industrial-scale production.

​

Built on years of intensive R&D and manufacturing know-how, we offer MPW runs, dedicated wafer fabrication, TFLN chiplets and specialized processing services. Our engineers manufacture chips today while we scale toward the world's first dedicated TFLN photonic fab.

Our Solutions

Monolithic TFLN Chips​

Fabricated on lithium niobate on insulator (LNOI) substrates using up to 10 main advanced process steps for full photonic integration.

Open-access TFLN foundry

TFLN Chiplets
Chiplets compatible with micro-transfer printing, enabling cost-effective, customizable, and scalable heterogeneous integration.

TFLN chiplets for micro-transfer printing

TFLN-Enhanced Silicon Photonics
TFLN micromachining services to support SiPh fabs and platform developers looking to integrate TFLN into their workflows.

Foundry service for silicon photonics

We Offer

TFLN Photonic Chips from MPW

Multi-Project Wafer (MPW)

Ideal for: Prototyping, research, early-stage validation
Volume: Shared wafer access
Cost: Entry-level, $/mm²

We offer MPW services based on our standardized TFLN platform and the process design kit (PDK). Customers can access high-performance photonic technology at low cost by sharing wafer area, perfect for proof-of-concept designs or academic projects.

Custom Dedicated Wafer Runs

Ideal for: Pre-production, product integration, process qualification
Volume: Dedicated wafers, minimum order 4 wafers
Cost: Scales per wafer or per chip based on order size

When your design requires more space, flexibility, or tailored process steps, or you deliver to niche markets, we offer dedicated wafer runs on our industrial-grade TFLN platform. Custom runs give you full control over layout, design integration, and fabrication parameters — enabling you to fine-tune your product or system before moving to scale.

This option is also ideal for qualification and validation prior to high-volume production, helping de-risk your transition from prototyping to manufacturing.

TFLN Wafers from Custom Dedicated Run

High-Volume TFLN Manufacturing

Ideal for: Industrial-scale photonic chip production
Target capacity: 2,000 wafers per month

CCRAFT already manufactures and delivers TFLN chips through MPW and dedicated wafer runs. Building on years of industrial R&D and manufacturing experience, we are establishing a dedicated TFLN fab to scale production to 2,000 wafers per month.

Our industrialization roadmap focuses on reproducible processes, consistent quality and scalable manufacturing, enabling customers to move confidently from prototype to volume production.

TFLN wafers in high volume production

Specialty Process Services on TFLN and Related Materials

Ideal for: Platform developers, foundries, and R&D partners
Volume: From 4 wafers and up
Cost: Project-based, depends on process steps and volume

We offer targeted fabrication services for customers needing specific processing steps on TFLN and similar materials. This includes etching, metal deposition, oxide deposition, and periodic poling, tailored primarily for integrated photonic applications.

We support both prototype-level engagements and scalable volume production, acting as a flexible and collaborative partner throughout the development cycle.
